There are a lot of characters that you can get into that don't exist in the studio world.

As an actor, you're always playing different people, so you yourself are always kind of going through an identity crisis.

I would probably list myself as mostly straight. I've met guys all the time that I'm like, Damn, that's a good-looking guy, you know? I've never been, like, Oh, I want to kiss that guy. I really love women. But I think defining yourself as 100% anything is kind of near-sighted and close-minded.

With every single role, you're not going to get a role unless you invest your whole heart into it.

Making a fantastical world real is a bit of a challenge, for sure. When you're on set and you have a green screen you're working with where you'll pretend there's a giant lizard chasing you when there's nothing there. Being shown the images of what the creatures were going to look like and then having to react to them realistically without feeling like you're a crazy person. You kind of have to go for it. In order to sell it to the audience, you can't really hold back.

I’ve met guys all the time that I’m like, Damn, that’s a good-looking guy, you know?

When you get to play a character that's in love, it's cool. Once you have love as a motivator in a story, your character is free to do anything.
