Figure out what you love to do, then figure out how to get paid to do it.

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

Auditioning for television shows - to find a guy who has a lot of experience as a laborer is a bit of an anomaly. We do exist. I know several other actors who have made their living, instead of a waitress job, framing houses or blacktopping roads.

I would like Americans to make things with their hands. Thomas Jefferson and I feel that makes for a much stronger nation.

When I got my job on Parks, it was so dreamy, kind of unfathomable. I didn't think a job that excellent could exist for me.

Jack London is a very generous description of my small hiking, bicycling, and canoeing habit. I myself feel like a weak urbanite a lot of the time, because lots of my friends are incredible outdoorsmen and women.

A lot of people find themselves in the entertainment business - or perhaps society steers them toward it - because they're beautiful.
