Acting was the only place that I ever felt like I belonged so went for it with everything I had.

I was happier going back to my roots: training like men do in my hometown of Pittsburgh. Back home the guys in the gyms don't lift to look good; they're lifting to lift. They do it because they want to squat more and bench more.

I'm an actor that cares.

I grew up a big comic book reader, as a kid, and I love the whole fanboy crowd.

I'm an average guy. I wasn't the dude who was gonna sit at the stage and dump all my paycheck into the girl.

When I'm training for 'True Blood,' I don't eat any sugar except for some fruit here and there. So it's no sugar, no bread, no real carbs all day.

I mean 'One Tree Hill' had some rabid fans - you'd be surprised - they're almost in a class of their own.
