I didn't know what my passion was until I discovered the dramatic arts in junior high and high school and I realized, 'Oh, I like this. This is something I feel like I'm good at.' But, the idea of moving to Hollywood and becoming an actor was really unrealistic.
As an actor, you always think your last job is your last job, and you're always doubting yourself and worried that people will see you're a fraud.
Early in your career, you feel like there is a formula, a path you have to take. You have to do this movie because this person directed it and you have to be associated with these people. In some ways, I have thrown that out.
It's about balance. Do a movie that's good for your career, then do a one that gets good box office.
(The school district) without a doubt is a top reason people look at Warwick.
A lot of guys I know are into this whole scarf trend. Not my thing. I prefer to update and personalize my style with the smaller things, like a pocket square or, again, with the shoes. All in the details.
Oh, and Logan - stay away from my girl
I've always loved watches my whole life. When I was growing up, I always thought of having a great watch as that next step - of making it, of a rite of passage.
If expectations are low, you can only impress people. But if expectations are there for you to be the leading guy, and you've been paid X amount of money, you're on a tightrope, and all of a sudden, you're looking down.
I decided I should go after the roles I like, that I am inspired by, and then, if I am having a good time, chances are that people will like watching you.
It's hard enough to just be a good actor. When you're on set, there's everything going against you. There are walkie talkies going off, the camera is creaking and moving, there are boom mics, and you have to hit your mark and make sure you don't shadow the other person's face. It's a really technical process.
If you're lucky enough to pick what you do, that's the greatest career you can have. Ultimately, that's my goal: to have choices.
To me, the more bizarre the character, the more I'm attracted to it,
If you're an attractive guy, everyone thinks you're successful just because of the way you look.
