His dad, who passed away when Dirk was 14, valued an education, and often counseled Dirk as he grew up to, "do what you want with your life, but get a liberal arts education no matter what else you do." Dirk took a few acting jobs during this period when his academic studies allowed, but didn't actively pursue a return to work until he obtained his degree in Liberal Arts at Antioch University 2010.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Anonymous
