I guess that's the oddest personality trait for me - I'm too dumb and naรฏve to ever really be nervous about anything. I just don't take it all that seriously. I'm much more happy to go home and lay on the couch and watch I Dream of Jeannie with my fiancรฉe and our dog.
Chris ZylkaWhen people are rude to other people. When people belittle other people. Bullies really bother me a lot. A lot, a lot.

Chris ZylkaThe difference between a regular camera and a 3D camera, for an actor, is really no different except that the turn-arounds are longer. It takes a lot longer to set up a shot because the cinematographer is really trying to set up a whole world, so it can't be more intricate and more beautiful to the viewers, in 3D.
