When you do a television show in the States, you get the pilot, and then it's the great unknown. That's the way it is. It's this great leap of faith. It's the Russian roulette of art.

The reality is that I'm an actor from the Midwest and I was 40 movies into it before I started 'Entourage'.

I grew up watching PBS and wanting to be a part of it, just like HBO.

I come from a theater family and a theater background, and I come from a philosophy that you respect the space you occupy when you work and you put everything that you have into something.

I'm a stage actor. That is what I do.

I grew up in the theatre.

People need to know you have to walk through that rejection, and it's only going to fuel you. If you can somehow look at it like it's a gift, you're just going to regroup, and work harder, and go deeper. So just embrace it.
