I messed around in high school, but I pretty much put it away until I did a television show in San Francisco.

Television is a big roulette table on so many levels. That's all it is for actors.

I love going to concerts, so that whole environment is something that intrigues me anyway.

When you make a movie, it's up to so many things and so many people.

I was a little nervous coming in mostly because my first scene was with Martin Sheen, who I'm a huge fan of.

You need someone to tell you how to do things like hitting your marks, or driving a car so it looks right or getting out of a car so it doesn't take a million years of screen time.

What it targets is not something that's really looked at a lot in terms of the war. This is stuff that's off the beaten path in terms of what we think of every time you start a Civil War history or a Civil War presentation. It's usually about the military and the soldiers and all that stuff. And this is not. It's the backdrop to a place and a time and circumstances that didn't have anything to do with that.
