If the project piques my interest and scares me a little bit, then it's got me hooked.

I never thought I would get to have my own action figure.

There's not a lot of direct back story but you do get to see them playing around each other a lot.

History is written by victors and, occasionally, sensationalist journalists. I mean that with the best respect.

Sometimes, I have lost out on a gig because I was not high enough profile.

As an actor, I relish and delight in doing things that I'm not necessarily the demographic for. This is a demographic that is touching the psyche of a certain age group, facing the real internal questions of people who are going through rites of passage into adulthood. It's earth-shaking stuff.

I don't give a damn if you like Blackbeard. I don't care if you think he is an absolute despot. Do you believe me? If you do, I've done my work.
