I still can't shake the Nebraska off of me.

As a kid, I was fortunate that we grew up near a children's theater, with all different classes and things; so as a kid I took classes there and as I got into high school I did all the community theater stuff. Then I came to college here in New York, going to Marymount Manhattan, and studied acting there. But most of the training I got was from working. Working with really great people.

Always my fallback is - I'm gonna move to a poor town and open a scone shop.

I've certainly played those leading man or male juvenile roles, where you're not supposed to make people laugh.

If you get into multicultural sort of casting for no other reason than to diversify, then it seems false.

So much of being an actor is trying to force yourself into these roles and sometimes it's a good fit, and sometimes it's not a good fit... you have to get clear about what it is that you do and not try to be a bunch of other people. Not try to be that guy or try to play that part; find the roles that you do well.

I think as a young person, you're kind of game for whatever sometimes.
