ESPN Zone was probably the coolest thing I could do [making "Hardball"]. But Navy Pier was the other thing. I'd take my bicycle and ride down to Navy Pier and just hang out. Try to get a phone number or something. That was my thing.

Honestly, I want to do films. I want to make that move from actor to producer, like Will Smith.

I want people to leave the theater and think, "How can I be a better person?" That's the only way things are going to improve.

Creating the opportunities for other people and solid projects, things that I like, for sure, definitely. Acting I'll do forever, but I want to produce as well.

As I grow and get older, mature a bit, and work on my big boy voice a little bit, I definitely want to direct.

I think everyone starts in the mailroom at some point! It's a right of passage. Your boss has to throw something at you and order you around for at least two years.

I've never been the kind of guy to hype myself up. It's just not my thing.
