amy shot
When I shot 'Private Practice,' Amy Brenneman made a point of really befriending me before we started shooting.
fan figures magazines
I was a big wrestling fan growing up. That was my thing. I had the action figures and the magazines and everything like that.
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.
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.
Some of the most cutthroat auditions you'll have as an actor are when you'll have three words to say.
people time upset
When I get time off, my brain is just, that's it. I sit. I veg. People will think that I'm upset or not happy, but I'm just exhausted. I'm just zoned out.
details life-is share
Im share a lot of details, but 98 percent of my life is still private.
close good great guarantee jobs lead lucky pilot television turn
I started to book good television jobs in 2010. I started to get really close to exceptional jobs in 2011, and then I got 'Arrow' in 2012. I know how lucky I am because just getting the lead in a pilot doesn't guarantee that that pilot is going to turn into something great.
love rarely
Love triangles very rarely stay quiet for very long.
based call legally needs next union
It's never me saying, 'When is my day over?' It's more, 'When do they legally have to get me off of the lot, based on when I have to be back the next day?' The first call is a big thing in the acting world and in the union world. There needs to be a 12 hour period, and I need it.
bigger business came february five good guest pilot star states work
I had five years in the business in Canada, and then I came down to the States in February of 2010. I had a good pilot season. I started getting guest star work. I started to get bigger stuff.
couple growing movies saw watched
I loved Superman growing up. I saw a couple of those movies in the theater, and I watched 'Superman II' 8000 times.
work
When I'm working, I'm working and I'm focused on that day's work.
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.
