Actors work for many reasons. Sometimes you do it because the material is good. Sometimes you do it because the paycheck is good. We would love to only do things that are art, that are artistic and that satisfy us, but this is our job, as well.

I've always worked out. I've always gone to the gym. But it was always a chore, and it was always, like, 'Man, I've gotta go do this because if I don't I'll get all dumpy and out of shape and then no one will hire me for good roles.'

As an actor, you try to put a little bit of yourself in everything you do.

My favorite part about going to the gym used to be leaving.

If youd asked me after Band of Brothers what thing I wanted to do next, I certainly never would have imagined Southland.

A lot of times, actors give so much power to the producers and the producing companies because, quite frankly, they have it. But we don't take the limited power that we have, which the power you initially have is to say 'no.' But 'no' in a positive way.

Everybody works in a different way, and I've worked with actors that have no training whatsoever who are phenomenal.
