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.

Yeah, September 11 happened and all my friends were like, 'Let's join the military!' and I was the only one who actually did.

I don't have cable. I just never watched a lot of TV.

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

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.

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

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