When you feel moved by the story, you want to tell that story.
I started in theater. I would liken sitcom work more to theater work than I would, perhaps, to dramatic television. It's so quick. It kind of feels like the pace of a play.
I think you always want to be open to things... it's just the matter of finding something I believe in, finding a character I believe in, and I think that's the way it should always be. I'm looking for things that excite me.
There's a certain rhythm to comedy that is almost like you're dancing and you just go on autopilot, so to speak. There's something just beautifully enjoyable about comedy in that respect. It's a joy to be able to do that. Drama, you get to go to depths that you haven't gone to before.
I like 'Homeland' a lot.
I emceed in metro Detroit throughout college, and even when I moved to New York, I would actually fly back on a Friday, emcee on a Saturday, and fly back on Sunday so that I could audition during the week. It was a big part of my life.
I always feel like hard work leads the way, and from there, I leave it up to the powers that be.
I try to stay away from the more schmaltzy side of things. That can backfire quickly.
I personally am not a shorts-wearing guy. That goes for any form of shorts, beside sports shorts, that I have to wear.
'30 for 30s' are amazing. They're little documentaries and can be anywhere from half an hour to an hour-and-a-half - great sports stories.
I learned women never want to hear they have big feet. That's no fun.
It's easy to think you can get discovered on the street, but I developed my chops on the stage - four years of theater in high school, and then another four in college.
By the time I got someone to take my head shot, I'd been acting for nine years!
Running is very therapeutic for me. I tend to have a louder brain, so when my mind is moving, I go for a run. It's very calming.
My family and friends and career are very important to me, but running allows me to be a better friend, a better family member, and makes me better at my career.
During my third season of 'Zoo,' I was picked up by a car to go to work. We had this huge scene to shoot that day, but the traffic was just gridlock. My transportation guy got a call saying, 'Where are you? We need to start shooting.' So I got out of the car and just took off running by all of these cars that weren't moving an inch.
I'm pretty addicted to it, so whether I'm home or on vacation, I need to run five days a week. It doesn't matter what the weather is, what the terrain is, where I am. I always need to get my miles in.
I'm a person who can't sit still for long.
I probably don't watch as much television as I should, given what I do.
As an actor, it's exciting to play a role that's so far from what you are and to have people respond to it like a real human being!
