I think heroism comes in different packages. The superhero package is one that we're familiar with.

I was shy and a hard worker, so acting was a way to focus whatever nervous energy I was experiencing onto a goal.

Things that are unknown attract us.

It is definitely a hard show [True Blood] to jump into the middle of, but luckily we have things like HBO Go now. It's not like you've missed it and now you're stuck. And I think once guys give it a shot - and you'll be able to speak to this better than I will - there's a lot of stuff that can be interesting to guys. There's a lot of action. Plenty of people are getting their heads chopped off.

As an actor, you never really set out to be a stand-out character. You just want to do justice to the story and enjoy playing it, and find all the different nooks and crannies of who someone is. For each part that you get, they're all special and you just try to give everything you can to each one. I don't know whether they're going to be stand out in that way or not factors into my work. They all stand out for me.

I don't see myself going back to blonde outside of work though. I really like the red.

It is said that our destiny is set, predetermined before conception. But I myself, have never been a believer.
