I'm a kid that went to theater school. I thought I was going to be making my living doing plays regionally or in New York or on Broadway, and maybe if I got lucky I would do a movie here or there.
What we really have to do is stop the adjective before the job title - whether it's 'black actor,' a 'gay actor' or anything actor.
My favorite actors are people who I don't know anything about, and I can project any character onto them.
There's always a need for new superheroes. As society changes, the types of superheroes will probably change as well.
To be honest with you, my physical state is usually dictated by the project I'm working on at a given time.
I think every guy and girl would love to get to play Superman at some point in their life.
If you're wearing suits and you want to create your own sense of style, get to the tailor.
I think anyone who's ever gone through adolescence and wanted something from their parents knows the basic tenets of a con.
I want to work with anyone who's passionate about telling a story. I obviously have a list of people I really love, but it's a really long list.
Playing athletics, playing a lot of different sports, going to drama school... I was one of those kids who wanted to do everything, so I ended up being pretty average at everything.
My personal life is a source of incredible happiness for me, but it's personal, and it's not for me to hock or shop around to the highest bidder.
I really just try to focus on my job, which is to be an actor, and outside that, the cards fall where they may, and on not getting caught up in how people react to certain things. That's a death trap creatively.
I'm from a very athletic family, and I thoroughly enjoyed sports as a kid, but acting was a way of expressing myself and having fun. It was something I found on my own.
I consider 'White Collar' my home base. I'm so lucky to get to play a character that's very multifaceted and the writers take risks on and never get into a staid process with.
