My dad was a college football coach, so we're a big athletic family. I was either going to be an athlete or an actor. As an actor, I hoped I would be able to bond the two.

I think there's something fun about television where, as an actor, when you read the script each week, it's like how the audience experiences watching the show each week.

My sister was drowning in the ocean once, and my brother and I dove in and saved her. True story. She owes us her life. Its great leverage; we abuse it all the time!

The little boy in me always wanted to be a treasure hunter.

Not everyone who sells Christmas trees believes in Santa Claus.

It's fun to get the script every Monday morning and go, "Cool!" I'm a professional actor, but I'm also a professional story lover. I get off on that thrill.

I have to give props to my stunt double, who is the real deal and gets to do all the fun stuff and make me look good.
