Reporter: What were you like as a kid?
Luke: As a kid, I was an explorer (探险者). I lived with my grandparents on a farm in Alabama. I spent a lot of time outdoors. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed that. From the time I was 6 to 16 years old I was an actor. My mom asked me to audition (试演) for a show in Birmingham. I asked my mom to buy me some video games and she agreed, so I went for it and finally got the part. Later, I became a professional actor. For many years I went all over the US performing on different stages.
Reporter: How did you start to study lemurs?
Luke: When I was on the farm, I was really a wild child and came to love wild things. I did a lot of photography (摄影) in high school. I became a photographer and did photography for the local paper. Then I became a student of Duke University. At Duke University there is a center — Lemur Center. I got a job there as a work-study student and met lemurs there for the first time. In 1994, I had a chance to go to Madagascar and decided to study lemurs there.
