I am a lefty, though I bat right-handed... When I was a kid I pitched, played first, outfield and shortstop as well. Now it's mainly softball with some friends.

One of the perks of being an actor is to get to meet athletes that you respect. Especially who played before my time. Brooks Robinson is one of those athletes; they just don't make them any nicer.

I never considered a career in broadcasting, not even as a kid.

What I want out of my career is just to work.

My dad said to me growing up: 'When all is said and done, if you can count all your true friends on one hand, you're a lucky man.'

I grew up in Baltimore. And yes, I am a big sports fan, especially when it comes to my local teams.

Any time you get to dig deeper into your character, you welcome it, especially on a TV show.
