The one nice thing about doing a character for a long time is, you begin to feel more comfortable, and you are thinking less and behaving more.

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.

I was initially a leading man, but only on television.

I think it had something to do with my love of music, especially rock music.

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

A show that's been successful that been on a while, chances are it's going to stay that way. At least it's going to maintain some kind of standard. But when a show begins, there's no telling. Even after 13 shows or a whole year, you don't know what will become of it.

There is no handbook about how a career is going to go.
