Yeah, I volunteered to support the troops, and get out there and show them that we care about them.

But I've got more to learn, too. I don't feel like I'm done or I know it all.

Wherever I go for the military, they always call me Lt. Dan. They just can't help it.

I save money when I'm working so that I never have to take a role simply to pay the bills.

I was always fascinated with rock 'n' roll, or girls, or something like that when I was a kid.

I've worked with a lot of really fine actors, both on stage and on screen. The level of their game lifts me up and brings the level of my game up to theirs. Always. It's like a constant upgrade.

The actors I was most impressed with and who were influencing my taste were all movie actors, so I always wanted to do movies but I didnt want to go to Hollywood and become a waiter in the meantime. The chances are really slim that an actor will be discovered in Hollywood. ... Ive never had to compromise myself for a job, ever.
