Matt Bomer and I went to Carnegie Mellon for drama together.

I grew up a misfit. I never fit in.

I am kind of giant … on (the True Blood) set.

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.

When I first got out of drama school, my original manager tried to get me to change my name because people were having trouble spelling it and saying it.

I come from classical theater training and when I went to college it was a bunch of kids that were hand-picked from around the world. I was around such brilliant young minds and incredible artists with incredible teachers.

When I'd be out-and-about at a club and the music would come on, I was never the guy that was gonna dance. But after Magic Mike - I have like two or three go-to moves. That's what Magic Mike gave me.
