| Quotes: |
Being typecast is the enemy of any actor, so if you can try to do something that flips on the head peoples' ideas of who you are or what you can do, that's my biggest aim.
<br />
<hr>
I'm a voracious reader, and I love to throw myself into it.
<br />
<hr>
A friend of mine is a chef in Bali, and another friend said "God, he's like Brad Pitt," and I said "Yeah, I think he's more like arm Pitt," 'cause, you know, Brad Pitt would be a bit of an overstatement.
<br />
<hr>
If the day comes where I can have my own action figure... I defy any actor to say that's not a good day.
<br />
<hr>
From an actor's point of view, you never really like to hope that anything will go beyond the pilot. I'd always say to my agent every time I filmed a pilot, 'Great! Well, I'll see you at pilot season.' |
