The Internet is a strange, strange place that is full of lies. I would say mostly lies.

I went to my first civil rights rally when I was 17 years old. I was a little skinny blond kid, scared to death, marching against the KKK in South Georgia. And I have never stopped marching in protests since. Not ever. I mean, LGBT rights, women's rights, the rights of people of color... I'm your guy. I'm going to be out there marching!

Personally, I am a church-going Christian. I love my church, my congregation; it's my favorite place to be.

I started out as a writer. Poetry and prose and also kind of satirical David Sedaris-esque stuff.

I was a bartender in New York and I overheard this girl saying she made $3000 doing a commercial. A kid at work told me, 'Hey, I know this director and he'd really like you!'. So I walked into this guy's office and was like 'I was thinking maybe I could make $3000' and he hired me for commercials, short films, like 15 jobs in a row.

In many ways, acting is really like a science to me to figure out the human behavior of any character that I'm playing.

I grew up in the Deep South, where sexism, racism, and homophobia were and still are alive and well. I have early, early memories of words and actions of this type being very painful.
