I loved Superman growing up. I saw a couple of those movies in the theater, and I watched 'Superman II' 8000 times.
Some of the most cutthroat auditions you'll have as an actor are when you'll have three words to say.
work
When I'm working, I'm working and I'm focused on that day's work.
behaves business conduct crew cruise goes observe tom
I would like to, in some capacity, observe how Tom Cruise goes about his business when it comes to making a movie and how he behaves on set and how he interacts with the crew because from everything that I've heard, it is the template for professionalism and just the way to conduct yourself as an actor.
good mentally run
I like to give myself a nice run up to a shirtless scene. Physically, it really doesn't make any difference. It's about mentally feeling good about it.
conversation cultural feature love nominated people point role type
I would love to be nominated for an award at some point or do something that at least engenders the type of cultural conversation that a role like Giancarlo Esposito on 'Breaking Bad,' or actually any of the people on 'Breaking Bad.' I would love to have a role in a feature film that was a cultural talking point.

When 'Hung' got canceled, I was available for pilot season, and 'Arrow' was the first thing I auditioned for. It wasn't the first script that came to me, but it was my first audition.

I was a big wrestling fan growing up. That was my thing. I had the action figures and the magazines and everything like that.

I wasn't aware of Green Arrow as a kid. My thing growing up was wrestling.
amy shot
When I shot 'Private Practice,' Amy Brenneman made a point of really befriending me before we started shooting.

People used to ask me questions on my blog about how to break into the acting industry. You often have to start out in parts where you have very few words, but you still have to try to make an impact.

Canada does a really a phenomenal job of producing music, actors, and entertainers. If you look at the number of people we have in our country relative to the number of people that are prominent in the entertainment industry, it's pretty impressive.
people
A lot of people don't know this, but Toronto is probably the most multicultural city in North America.

I remember doing a little student film where we had a guy that couldn't pull focus. We ended up spending three times the amount of time shooting this thing as opposed to if the guy could've just pulled focus.
