For me, the idea of being a successful actor is hanging out with my dogs and my boy, down in Venice beach, and going, "I don't have to audition today. I've got a little respite here."

I love being funny! I started in the theater when I was 9 and, believe it or not, always played the funny part!

I was the little kid growing up. I wasn't picked on because, honestly, I was fast, so I could run away from the bullies.

The crew, the actors and the writers all work the same way. We always want to do the best job.

I was raised in the theater and I started acting when I was nine. To me, the idea of being an actor was about playing different characters and being a chameleon. That's why I was in the theater.

I did a film when I was about 30; it's a coming of age story called 'Gas Food Lodging,' and I'm so proud of that little independent film. I play this young English geologist, and he's such a simple, loving kind of guy. Doesn't talk too much. He's just a quiet guy, and he gets the girl.

There's this great fantasy of going to work, every day, and getting to play out what people think my life is, as a successful actor.
