I've been able to go on and have a successful career on Broadway and certainly the last five years in Las Vegas have been amazing.

I played in garage bands and rock and roll bands when I was in junior high and high school and saw some of the great talents of all time in the local area where I lived.

You know I got kicked out of high school and I used to go to Hendrix concerts. I used to go see Marvin Gaye and B.B. King and so here I am on television as an actor playing the part of this really sweet wholesome all American boy. The reality was I had a much different kind of teenage life.

Thoroughbred racing is really my true passion. I'm living my dream.

I've always had a special relationship with the U.K. fans, because even when I wasn't working they were very supportive.

I had a lot of very religious influences - Christian religious.

When I was 11, I moved to Los Angeles to live with my father and stepmother and my half brothers. I became really close to my stepmother, and I am still very close to my brothers. My stepmother is the actress Shirley Jones, who was in The Partridge Family alongside me, so we worked together for years.
