I want to play roles that I'm proud of, that I feel a certain integrity about, and I want to continue to be truthful in the work that I do.

I'm a martial artist. I've boxed all my life. I work out. I studied Hwarangdo, which is a Korean style.

There was a day where I was sitting at my desk, working 90-hour work weeks, in a suit, looking at a computer, with all these pitch books on my desk, and I just thought, "This can't be my life..."

Growing up in D.C. there are so many different types of educational and professional levels. They call D.C. 'Chocolate City' but just because we're all chocolate doesn't mean we're all the same. In D.C., everyone co-exists harmoniously but the lines are still drawn. And people don't really step over those lines.

I love that period, between the '20s and the '60s. I love doing period pieces, and those eras are my favorite period in time, music wise, and the elegance and the way of being.

Eventually one day I want to direct, but as of right now my next cap that I'm looking for is the producer cap.

There is a little bit of me infused in every character I play.
