I was born in California. When I was six, we moved to a small town in northern Indiana called Mishawaka.

I always think back to the original movies and to those quieter moments where Luke is out in A New Hope, and there are the two suns setting. It is the equivalent, basically, of a farm boy dying to get out of his small town and do something bigger. It's those kinds of universal themes that ground this whole thing in space.

I think people are willing to take more of a risk on an indie film, about character, etc...but at the same time, when I work on projects that are substantially bigger, in a way they do feel small. Even though the catering is way better and we actually have someone shooting with real film.... The budgets are bigger but the story still feels small, like an indie film.

I'm not an acting monk or anything. I'm not, like, the most well-adjusted actor.

It was very clear to me I wanted to be an actor when I got out into civilian life.

I don't understand technology, and I'm very scared of it.

Acting is a business and a political act and a craft, but I also feel like it's a service - specifically, for a military audience.
