Baseball player. Yeah, that was my dream before acting, or alongside acting.

I wanna chase down Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx, Will Smith. I would love to start my film career.

Now that I've established myself in a drama, I'm plugging away, trying to get the attention of people who do the independent movies and the features.

But because I could throw so hard when I got to college they made me a pitcher.

I say I’m not shy, but… Acting is a very vulnerable experience, and you’ve got to be really confident to put yourself out there to be judged.

Denzel has been that leading man, but it took him a while to get to Training Day and Hurricane Carter.

I look at leading men because that's ultimately what I'm aspiring to do. But I also look at character actors and people that I'm just in awe by, just because I can relate to it.
