Being on a television series is sort of life-altering on every level.
I don't collect anything. I collect people, I think. I'm very social and I like seeing a lot of people.
I'm very serious about acting.
Sometimes, his methods and his motives are questionable and even his morals are questionable in the way he does things. But I think his intention is always to protect his daughter.
That's why, when Alias came along, I knew I'd be OK if the show was on for five or six years because the writing was so good and the creative team was so strong.
I have no skills. The only thing I could possibly do is teach.
We, some cast members and I, even went on a weekend trip together and spent the weekend at an inn, because we enjoy each other's company so much, and it was so cool.
The stage is where I feel most comfortable, and I miss it all the time.
My mother couldn't have been happier when I said I was moving to New York.
Growing up I was involved in children's theater, so I was definitely on the path to be an actor and a singer.
It's disgusting that a Broadway show can't try out anymore, that no matter where they are in the world, there is this massive dialogue going on between people damning or praising it.
One day, we were doing a serious scene and fast talking like we do and we could not stop laughing and the director had to stop the production. We had to go to our trailer and calm down and do it all again.
I like the fact that Jack is always wearing a tie except when he's on a mission. I do like it when I get out there and dress up, or dress down, a little bit.
The joy is when you work with great actors, it just comes to life in a way that you never even imagined.
