In the military, you learn the essence of people. You see so many examples of self-sacrifice and moral courage. In the rest of life you don't get that many opportunities to be sure of your friends.

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

I loved being in the Marine Corps, I loved my job in the Marine Corps, and I loved the people I served with. It's one of the best things I've had a chance to do.

Girls' feels very active and stirring a conversation and controversial, and you can't really ask for more as an actor.

Acting is really about having the courage to fail in front of people.

I actually run a non-profit where one of the main objectives is to branch out and get a new audience for the theater. Just because the writing is so good and nothing is more effective than seeing something live and happening right in front of your face, so I definitely want to continue to pursue that.

Through theater and acting school, I found a way to articulate myself.
