I originally passed on 'Girls' because I thought TV was evil.

For me, becoming a man had a lot to do with learning communication, and I learned about that by acting.

I have a control problem. I hate the feeling of not being in control.

I used to eat a whole chicken every day, for lunch. I did that for four years. But it got tiring - go to the store, buy it, eat it. It’s a mess.

Something I learned in the Marine Corps that I've applied to acting is, one, taking direction, and then working with a group of people to accomplish a mission and knowing your role within that team.

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