I have heterochromia, meaning that one eye has two split colours. It's a diagonal cut in half. It's amazing how many people don't know that until they meet me and we talk long enough for them to see it.

I wanted to be a pro volleyball player, and I fell in love with performance and audience response. The pressure of performing and doing something that I love doing in front of people who were grateful to see it. That relationship sort of worked out to be acting and theatre.

In fantasy, the expression of exploring another world, you get the universal truth of that excitement and fear, but there's an element of fantasy that you have to not forget so you can take people on that journey.

I love to write and do photography, as a cathartic experience.

I would definitely like to be a slightly aging action hero with a smart mouth and have a little bit of fun.

Once the makeup is on, it's a collaborative process but it's pretty neat to have the makeup sort of speak to you when you look in the mirror and see how the face moves. For me, the personality comes through that makeup and that exploration of how it all looks and moves. You try to make it more unique than just a human with a mask on.

My wife fosters dogs, to try and give these lost puppies a chance to get adopted. I'm grateful to my wife for that, she brings that element to my family and my kids get to understand what that means.
