I wanted to know everything about the blues. I think it constantly changes for me.
I don't really have any limitations for what I want to do, as an actor.
There are tons of things I'd love to do. I want to do comedy. It's not that I don't want to play a superhero, but I got to play Conan and Drogo.
To do six to 10 episodes of high-quality writing, and then be able to go direct my own things, and do a movie, if it comes along, sure. I just want to act and do good work.
For right now, I'd like to tell stories that I want to tell. I haven't wanted to use someone else's material yet, but I would with the show. It's become an integral enough part of me now, that I could definitely tell a story in this.
I don't want to just play the same thing. But with The Red Road, no one has ever seen me like that. No one really even knows that I smile, have a personality and have a sense of humor.
I think a man needs to be a man. To hold a woman the way she wants to be held. Just do whatever your woman wants, and you'll be fine.
I grew up rock climbing.
I grew up with artists.
I was born in Hawaii, but I was raised in Iowa.
I'm one of those freaky people that actually reads books.
I'm not a big fan of just doing weights. Anything more physical is infinitely better.
I'm half Hawaiian and the haka is a very sacred thing, something your family teaches you - my father taught me.
I made a conscious choice to turn down some movies that were action-based, so that I could direct Road to Paloma and show that side.
