As an actor what you're always looking for is a character that is going to grow and change especially on television. I feel incredibly lucky to be working on a television show where the writing is always geared towards us growing and changing.

I adore Smashbox lip stains. I carry a natural color for daytime and a berry shade for going out at night.

I have seven scars from having moles removed. One was a melanoma, six were precancerous. Get your moles checked!

The big scandal was when I was in seventh grade and I modeled a bathing suit. Everybody freaked out!

I always have my passport on me, as well as two currencies.

I buy tons of magazines. They're a big part of how I research characters. And I keep them around and go back to them years later. I just have stacks.

I have a closet full of blazers and more striped shirts than any human could possibly wear. Somehow I think that I don't have striped shirts, and then I look at my closet and go, 'Oh, I have ten.' But then you always end up with your favourite striped shirt of the moment, and you don't end up wearing any of the other ones.
