Early on in my career I got a part in Revenge Of The Nerds II: Nerds In Paradise. If I hadn't done that I wouldn't have met Tim Busfield and if I hadn't met Tim Busfield, I wouldn't have met Aaron Sorkin. So Nerds II took me straight to the White House!

The issue for my character, and the issue of the show is, how dirty do your feet have to get without suffocating yourself in the mud in order to get an inch of what you really want done?

You don't want to become one of those Hollywood idiots who is just blathering about anything

Infuse your life with action.

As an actor you always feel like you're swimming upstream.

When you act, you're always playing a version of yourself. You can't bring more to the role than what you are

With the success of a show, you get an opportunity to call attention to things that you believe in.
