Well, I guess most people would only know me from The O.C. I did a few episodes of Gilmore Girls before that. I was also a client on a lot of lawyer shows.

I started a band [Big Japan] for fun. These sticks break easily, but they feel good.

I worry that I can come off smarmy. I wonder if I was listening to myself if I'd want to kick my own ass.

It's very important to me to love what I do. It was important to me to find a career that I truly enjoy. You can find something that sort of excites you, that's half the battle of life.
