My job is to focus on bringing characters to life in an honest and personal way.

My mom put me in dance classes when I was 5 years old.

I'm a non-confrontational person. If I order salmon and I get chicken, I'm going to eat the chicken.

I ran track in high school. I was a fragile young man, personally and physically. I tried football. That didn't work out; I broke my collarbone. But I always loved running.

I've always been very aware of my own humanity. The limits of my humanity.

Thankfully, I was able to go to Marquette University and get my education, a Catholic education, so I could please my family, because I think they wanted me to be a priest.

I think in many ways, I'm sort of a blank canvas, because in many ways, I'm just observing the world and the people around me and their characters and letting them kind of explode off me and to find out why they're doing what they're doing. But then every once in awhile, I get to take on a whole new character.
