I love coming of age stories that have struggle.
I've got to be honest and say that, growing up, I wasn't a big sports guy, but I love the camaraderie. I just love people getting together, fighting for a team and getting super-emotional about it.
I'm just in love with Burberry. Always have been, always will be.
I love everyone over at Netflix. They're all fantastic and an absolute joy to work with.
I love diving into different skins, skins that make me feel deep emotions.
I drive a 1965 Shelby Cobra. I love classic muscle cars.
It's so hard for me to kind of fall in love with comedy, but if something comes my way... I mean, I loved 'Weird,' I thought that was a really fun character.
I didn't come from any money, but even when I was on 'Big Love' - people think you're on a series and you're making bank.
You've got to be picky in this business - if you're not, then I don't think you have the option of longevity. You've got to be choosy and try and do something that's outside of the box and dangerous. I love doing stuff that excites me, gives me that adrenalin rush.
I always gravitate towards the independent side of things, just because those are the stories I always fall in love with, but you don't really get paid, and living in Los Angeles is expensive, and I have a mortgage to pay. So it's good to jump onto a studio film and then in all my other time do small passion projects.
I rode a shark once. I wouldn't recommend it. It was fun, but I thought I was going to get eaten the entire time! Nothing against sharks. I love sharks. I just don't think we are meant to ride them.
I love stories that put you on the edge of your seat and make you feel something.
I got spoiled on 'Breaking Bad.' Playing the same guy for four or five seasons, you get to really explore who the character is.
I always gravitate towards characters that are so opposite of me.
