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 worked a lot in Chicago's theater scene as a fight choreographer. And so I do have a lot of experience in stage combat and also in Kabuki dance and Kabuki theater.

Before people figured out I was funny, I got cast quite a bit as either a rapist or serial killer or the guy who catches those people.

I learned the word non-conformist in fourth grade and immediately announced that I would grow up to become one.

I think that purity creates not only a higher level of artistic vision but a purer work ethic.

I grew up in a small town in Illinois, and my dad was a basketball coach. Thanks to him, I have excellent fundamentals in both basketball and baseball.

Meat is a big deal in my life. I do love breakfast food, but I don't think that's extraordinary. I'm a normal American. We love eggs and meat and potatoes and gravy.
