I've played a super soldier, a doctor, a World War II fighter pilot, a professional footballer, and a meth-dealing junkie. All those things allow you to educate yourself about different worlds that you have to get familiar with.

Im a massive science fiction and fantasy geek.

The constant education is what keeps me interested. That's what absolutely fascinates me about this job. This week, I'm playing a faerie. Last year, I played a soldier. What am I going to be playing in six months? It's amazing! It's a wonderful job.

What True Blood does really well is that it balances on the line between good and evil - you blur the distinction between the two.

I honestly dont know whether I can ever top the experience of Pacific Rim.

I will do anything for Guillermo del Toro, if he asked me. I would give him my first-born child.

I would have liked to have worked with Carrie Preston. I think Carrie Preston is one of the most talented actresses I've ever met in my entire life.
