I think it's fascinating that I receive attention for what people perceive to be a level of manliness or machismo, when amongst my family of farmers and paramedics and regular Americans, I'm kind of the sissy in my family.

I come from the theater, where I got into acting because I love transforming. I love nothing more than to be unrecognizable.

Only when you get into TV and film, do people really want you to be a 'specialist'.

If your shirt isn't tucked into your pants, then your pants are tucked into your shirt.

I also grew up building theatrical scenery. I spent many years building scenery as a large part of my income and that allowed me to really develop my shop skills.

I've been working steadily as an actor since around 1998. I wasn't well known in the public, but I was a dependable working journeyman.

I always drastically changed my look for each role. It's gotten a little tedious in real life, also, because there's no hiding.
