None of the people are what you think when you first meet them, who you think they are, and they turn out to be maybe something a little different.

First of all my real full name is Lloyd Vernet Bridges III.

And then I got into sports and gave my guitar to my brother Jeff who was just a little kid at that time.

I like to try to make the characters I play be as human as possible.

I've done a number of these My Name is Earl shows. I play Earl's father. It's a half-hour comedy. And I'll be doing some more of those. I have a movie coming out that I did with Misha Barton, called Don't Fade Away.

Some actors, and especially the younger actors, they come into the job with a lot of attention on how they behave and everything when they're not working. Sometimes that can be unfortunate because the work call is pretty intense and the preparation for it. If your focus is there, then the actual doing of the job will be fun and enjoyable. But if you're so involved in trying to be interesting and a character and everything when you're not working, it can get in the way and people get goofed up.

Some of my oldest friends are actors. But that's not the only place my friends come from.
