I've broken my wrist, dislocated toes and shoulders, gotten stitches, you name it. However, the worst was a severely bruised femur. I got body checked into an open gate while playing hockey. The doctor couldn't believe I didn't shatter my femur.
My dad's a jeweller, and my mom works for a bank.
I was playing a relatively high level of hockey, and I thought that's what I wanted to do. But I had my first movie audition, and I was hooked.
It's not really a guilty pleasure, but I love old cartoons. I could watch Bugs Bunny and Tweety all day long.
It's a really incredible time to be working in television.
I'm very interested in Ben Affleck as Batman. I actually think he's a great choice.
It's nice to be playing a character who's never had a live-action version before.
Just being the first person to bring the character to life is really fun and exciting.
I play hockey in a pickup league. I grew up playing, so it's nice to get on the ice whenever I can.
Everyone should have cheat days or days off. You need to balance the unhealthy with the healthy.
Luckily, I didn't get too beaten up before someone gave me a shot, but there were times when I was living on friends' couches and eating five-dollar subs from Subway almost every meal.
Every actor needs someone to take a chance on them.
My friends and family definitely helped me with the biggest obstacle in my life, which was just staying in L.A. long enough to really give it a shot.
A lot of my inspiration comes from the movies and TV, watching other people doing things that I one day hope to have the opportunity to do. The other sides would be my friends and family, people who have supported me and always been there for me. I want to do a good job for them and show them they were right for believing in me.
