This is real human drama, we're not creating some amusement park ride for the summer. Even though the movie is really exciting to watch, it's got a real pathos behind it.

I'm a big fan of the 'Harry Potter' movies and 'The Lord of the Rings' films.

Surprising people is the key to career longevity for someone like me.

I try to take things that challenge me either physically or mentally, or I have to learn a new skill.

I was more like a middle child. My youngest brother was the baby, so he got all the attention that the baby gets. And my older brothers were getting into so much trouble that I was left in the middle, doing plays. I was up to no good, but my mother didn't know it!

I was a solid C student because I was doing so many plays. I was a drama nerd, but I was also kind of a Zelig-like character; I would shift between different groups of people. But the people I spent most of my time with were either chorus or swing choir or the drama nerds.

When they're good, I like working with new actors.
