The whole bullying issue has really struck a nerve with me. It affects so many different types of people at a vital time in their lives.

I had been working predominantly and steadily as a dancer, so after awhile, you don't have to audition. I was just in that world, and I had certain goals I wanted to reach, but I definitely always wanted to keep going and challenge myself and become an actor.

I mean, there's definitely a difference between film and live performances or live television. But at the same time, it's just performing. No matter what, it's performing.

I enjoy the element of pushing yourself, learning something new, whether it's a dance step, a scene, an emotion.

I used to get made fun of a lot for being a male dancer, especially growing up in Boston. Kids are terrible, they don't realize how heavy words can be.

I have a really good family. I'm lucky to have people who support me and love me in my life.
