character responsibility people
I just really enjoyed all that kind of responsibility, I loved the fact that many people cared. I was doing 4 hours of boxing, 2 hours of weights, an hours of accent and dialect training, I just enjoyed having to do all that for this character [ Vinnie Paz in Bleed for This].
teacher school graduates
My second grade teacher told me I would never graduate high school. That I was going to be a juvenile delinquent.
animal bananas peeling
Umm... So I just realized Ive been peeling bananas wrong my entire life. Thank you animal planet.
indiana bigs trilogies
Honestly, I'm not a big movie buff in general. The only movies I own is probably the 'Indiana Jones' trilogy.
work-out film excited
I enjoy the physicality a little more, with Vinnie Paz [in Bleed for This] that was the most prep I've ever had to do for a film, that was a legit like 7 months of diet and working out. And then I was able to do like an accent, I was able to change myself physically, I was able to do a lot of the things that I'd always looked at actors and admired when they did that. So I was excited to do that.
nice acting rabbit-holes
Absolutely, 'Rabbit Hole' gave me a nice first introduction into film acting.
play waiting superhero
I'm still waiting for my first big Hollywood paycheck... maybe I'll play a superhero.
college dancing ballet
I'm the first one out on the dance floor. In college I had to take jazz, ballet and tap dancing, but, before that, it was just social.
character mean responsibility
I think hopefully as you're getting older you're getting parts that require more preparation, and by that I just mean - I don't know, usually the older you get you get characters with more responsibility. Each one is different, there are certain movies that when the guy starts you pretty much come with that character on page one and then you see their growth, whereas other guys a lot has happened before that movie starts and you have to come in with something.
crush bigs used
I used to have a big crush on Andie MacDowell.
softball team play
I don't know if there's an actors' slow-pitch softball league I could join. My agency has a team, but they say it would be a conflict of interest for the people they rep to play because I could hit a pop-up and they'd have to drop it on purpose.
young makers screening
The makers of '21 and Over' have been screening it, and I'm getting a lot of comparisons to a young Vince Vaughn.
As an actor if you're working you're usually in three places, you're either prepping something, you're shooting something, or you're post on something or promoting something.
pain nice men
Living in somebody else's pain for an actor man, it's actually nice when you get to feel that kind of emotion. That's what I like.
