Biography, Jan. 2003. The ensuing applause provided a memorable rush that helped fuel his desire to become an actor when he got older.He attended School of the Arts High School (San Francisco) and dropped out before graduation.

He later received his high school diploma after his parents enrolled him in the somewhat controversial Outward Bound-style alternative high school called Urban Pioneers because, as Rockwell explained, "I just wanted to get stoned, flirt with girls, go to parties." The school, the actor said, "had a reputation as a place stoners went because it was easy to graduate," but the program ended up helping him regain an interest in performing. After appearing in an independent film during his senior year, he graduated and moved to New York to pursue an acting career.Early filmsAfter his first film role in 1989s Clownhouse (produced by Francis Ford Coppolas production company) which he filmed when based in San Francisco, he moved to New York at age 18 and trained at the William Esper Studios. His career slowly gathered momentum in the early 90s when he alternated between small-screen guest spots in TV shows like The Equalizer, NYPD Blue and Law & Order and small roles in films such as Last Exit to Brooklyn and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He also appeared as the title character in the comedy cult classic "The Search for One-Eyed Jimmy". During this time Rockwell worked in restaurants as a busboy and delivered burritos by bicycle.?Sam Rockwell,? by M.B. Rolling Stone, 10/3/02.
