I'm addicted to exercise. I love going to the gym, but my absolute favorite is hiking in L.A., particularly Runyon Canyon. It's become my mental and physical salvation.

As an actor, you get to sort of bounce back and forth in terms of the age range you play and the life experience that your characters have.

Acting is not just something I love but a part of who I am.

Thankfully, the love of those around me helped push me forward.

The girls in kindergarten would chase us boys around trying to kiss us. Im proud to say I was the first to stop running.

I just need to make sure I don't get in my own way of a truthful and organic moment. Regardless of the research involved, at the end of the day, I have to show up, breathe, and listen.

For me, exercise is more mental than physical. I crave it for my sanity. Not just the endorphins, but my energy, confidence, and relaxation are all motivated by it.
