Luke Dollar is a scientist. He has spent many years in Madagascar studying lemurs (狐猴). Here is an interview with him.
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?
