I'm always surprised at how many people remember me from 'Degrassi.'

I came from a huge extended family of musicians.

I was a jock, hardcore sports all the way down the line, but I heard that if you auditioned for this arts school, you got time off school, and that sounded good to me.

For those that don't know much about 'American Idiot' or Green Day, just know that it's my generation's The Who's 'Tommy' or Pink Floyd's 'The Wall.' It was an album that really spoke to a generation. The theatrical show encapsulates that feeling and brings it to an even wider audience.

I played the drums, and I was in a band called Funkasaurus Rex in Toronto. When I left for school, it became hard to play as frequently.

I wanted to be a soccer player. And then I wanted to be a rabbi.

I grew up in Canada and was a huge Spider-Man fan, and never thought of Spider-Man as an American hero.
