I gravitate toward edgy, intense, dark films that just grab you by the throat.
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 always gravitate towards characters that are so opposite of me.
I would be lying if I didn't admit there might be a scene in the movie where there might be alcohol in my system.
I filmed myself drunk, just to see what I'm like. I watched so many funny videos of people drunk on YouTube.
I never really thought of myself as being an action hero or a leading man, or any of that. I'm a character actor.
My end goal is just to do projects at the end of the day that I'm proud of.
What's so great about television. You're able to tell a long story, where you couldn't really do that in a film because you have to tell a story in an hour and a half or two hours.
That's the wonder of the internet. It's the power of numbers: get enough people to retweet something, someone might see it.
I'm obsessed with concerts.
I think that for some people faith is good - they have something to draw to.
I'm a character actor.
I'm not a leading man.
I've grown so much, not just as an actor, but as a human being.
