With Southern actors you always think you're from the same place. Even if one is from Texas, one is from Georgia, you're like, "oh, you're just down the street, man."

Actually there were [ in MacGyver] a lot of things about the original that focused on the character, but not too many people seem to remember that.

Truthfully, in the beginning [of MacGyver] this could have gone either way, and as it turned out there was a version that was done wrong, which I'm not even going to get into. It was a pretty good idea and I liked where it was going, but then we got a chance to restart with Peter Lenkov [as executive producer/showrunner], who brought his vision to it. I remember reading his pilot script and it was just so exciting that I started hopping around my room.

I was just watching "So You Think You Can Dance," flipping channels, and I was like man, I could never do that.

What's funny is we were doing some fire at work the other day and it was reminding me of all the firework I got to do as Havok, because a lot of that was as practical as you could get.

I want to do the best job I can.

All the hard work means something. That's all you can really ask for, as an actor.
