I don't want to impose on anyone else and make anyone else emotional or anything. I tend to quietly cry, kind of turn away.

I used to sit when I was a kid, from 14 or 15 on, with a book or a paper or a magazine in front of a mirror and teach myself to speak with a more straight mouth, so it wasn't so pronounced.

People forget that actors are actors, who are looking to put on the clothes and the character, and then shed it just as easily.

I'm a homebody. I'd rather be in the kitchen cooking than hanging out in a bar.

For me, what grabs my attention about the project is usually the character immediately and then the story, and then the people that are involved.

My father was a very fun dad; he was always coaching our soccer sports teams, he made sure that we had activities to do. He was kind of goofy and fun. But at the same time, he had a lot of lessons to teach us so that we didn't grow up and just not be good people. I try and reflect a lot on how I was raised by my father in the character that I'm playing now in being a dad. You've got to be strong for these kids. You also have to be fun and teach them all the lessons, not just one, or two, or three.

In THE WHISPERS, I played a father, with an amazingly talented actor, Kyle Breitkopf. I've played a dad a lot, so it's nice again to be in that world [in This Is Us].
