Your tenacity is a larger deciding factor in your success than however good or bad an actor you may be. I feel like that's just something that cannot be overstated enough for people getting into the business. You have to really want it more than anybody else.

I worked for a breakfast catering company on commercial shoots, which meant getting up at 3 or 4 A.M. and loading up your car with a bunch of food and driving out to some set in Santa Clarita and making breakfast for a bunch of people.

I don't want to infringe on Alec Baldwin's territory, but I'm a pretty darn good 'Words With Friends' player.

The ban on assault weapons was a good and necessary law that was allowed to lapse through the influence of special interests.

I was offered the role of the Reverse Flash on 'The Flash' by Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg and Greg Berlanti, who co-created the series with Andrew. I said 'yes' immediately because I had worked with those guys before on the show 'Eli Stone.'

My first movie was 'The Mask Of Zorro,' and that was all swords and horses and swashbuckling, and I thought, 'This is what movies are.' Obviously, I never made another one like that again; those are very rare.

From the first audition on stage, I knew I loved acting.

Nobody wants to hear me sing! I can sing, but nobody wants to be there for it.

You especially want to strive for that nuance on a show like 'The Flash,' which is different from 'Legends' in the sense that it's really, at its heart, a smaller show. It's a more intimate show, in a way.

I've resigned myself to the fact that the world needs clowns, too, and I was born to be one of them. And it is an important role in our society to play.

I am always really respectful of anything that has the kind of longevity and fan base that something like DC Comics has and 'The Flash' series in particular has.

Sadly, in the most nerdy way possible, my superpower is anagramming.

To go straight to 'Scandal' and get to play the larger-than-life guy who has the page-long rants and gets drilled in the leg with blood flying everywhere, it was a blast. It's really been a nice counterpoint after the first season of 'The Carrie Diaries.'

'Carrie Diaries' is very heartfelt and earnest in a lot of ways.

During my senior year, when I was attending the University of Michigan and getting a drama degree, the Purple Rose Theatre was in its second season. The year before was the company's inaugural season. I, of course, wanted to work there. It was started by a really prominent local actor, Jeff Daniels.

As an actor, you are always waiting for someone else to be able to tell you when it's okay to work, and as a writer, you can just pick up your computer and start whenever you want. That is really freeing.

I'm really drawn to chameleons; I'm really drawn to people who can play a wide range of roles, who are really versatile, but are so in a way that's with ease.
