I'm conflicted with theater in the city because you want to reach a diverse audience, and that audience doesn't typically go to the theater.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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