I see myself working, making a living and doing projects that I'm passionate about, regardless of the medium.
I'm a long time [Scott] Fitzgerald fan, as probably everyone in America is. And I've always been fascinated by that theme of, what is the price of the American dream and what parts of your soul do you walk away with? The conflict of art versus commerce was also very interesting to me.
I’ve been a con artist since I was 16 and trying to get my dad to buy me a car. I never succeeded, but I learnt a lot of tactics.
The best experience for me at CMU was being on stage so much, getting that comfort ability and learning that technique you can use with any type of work because you’re comfortable with it and know your skill as an actor.
My standard uniform is a T-shirt and jeans.
Anybody who is rude to anyone in the service industry is automatically out.
I think every guy and girl would love to get to play Superman at some point in their life.
To be honest with you, my physical state is usually dictated by the project I'm working on at a given time.
My favorite actors are people who I don't know anything about, and I can project any character onto them.
What we really have to do is stop the adjective before the job title - whether it's 'black actor,' a 'gay actor' or anything actor.
Activism isn't beautiful and easy, or a bunch of people getting together and picketing; it's a lot more complicated and difficult than that.
Cote de Pablo is one of my best friends! We went to college together.
I don't think it's a bad thing to go out there and challenge yourself as an actor.
I like to just work with great directors.
