Baseball player. Yeah, that was my dream before acting, or alongside acting.
Each morning needs to start with a good sweat. I'm either working out at home or on set, depending on my call time.
What I love about 'Criminal Minds' is that Morgan is an ex-marine, ex-SWAT. To do those things you have to be a pretty badass dude. It's a great incentive to stay in shape.
I could describe my career in two words: who knew. I was on the path to becoming a professional baseball player, but I got injured in college. When I decided to move out to L.A. to try acting, nobody was betting on me, not even my family.
But I got drafted out of high school, and my mother wasn't having it. She was like, you're not about to think that you can just play ball, because if you get hurt, you're going to be out of luck.
But because I could throw so hard when I got to college they made me a pitcher.
I think because people are passing - people that we are aware of are passing at - I don't say a great pace, but it seems like people are dropping, and I think it's just making - there's a consciousness and there's sensitivity to it.
I like to make money; I like to have nice things. But I love to act; I love to tell stories.
I got country music in me.
It was truly a lesson in don't take something at face value. You know, so many of us do in life. Whether it's because of how somebody looks or because of what they're wearing or what have you, you kind of assess a person in the first five minutes before they even speak.
Because I could throw so hard when I got to college, they made me a pitcher. If I had to it all over again, I would have stuck to playing in the outfield. I loved running. I can catch everything in the outfield. I could throw people out from the fence.
I got rock in me.
That's because I didn't have to work with Madea. I only had to work with Madea once, and that was at the barbecue and I didn't have to get close to her.
Television is in a different time because of reality television, so it's not as exciting.
Orlando's a part of me. The next guy's a part of me. And the next guy's a part of me. That's all I'm trying to do, is tell cool stories that people can relate to.
I'm a drama guy.
I loved running. I can catch everything in the outfield. I could throw people out from the fence.
I hosted Soul train but I listen to everything.
Denzel has been that leading man, but it took him a while to get to Training Day and Hurricane Carter.
Acting is therapeutic.
