Honestly, one-hour drama is the hardest format there is. I think it's harder than movies, and it's harder than half-hour comedy.

I moved to Seattle when I was two or three years old. Had my early education there, and would spend summers on the farm in Maryland. Then I went to boarding school in New Hampshire, to St. Paul's School. From there, I moved to London.

Shakespeare is the Joss Whedon of his generation.

Personally, my taste is towards development of a character, as well as the resolution of a story plot. I like to find both, if I can.

By the time I had finished my studies at St. Paul's School, I knew I wanted to be an actor.

I was dishwasher, then promoted to chef in a local kitchen in a restaurant in Seattle, and I was working on a building site as well, putting in insulation and painting houses, and then doing some classes at a community college nearby.

There's nothing as satisfying, thrilling and gratifying as parenthood.
