You know, I dont play the race card a lot. Im half-black, half-white, and Im proud of - my skin is brown. The world sees me as a black man, but my mother didnt raise me as a black man. She didnt raise me as a white guy.

I don't see myself as a 'black actor,' I'm just Shemar Moore the actor.

I'm not a machine. I get really motivated, then I fall off the wagon and want to eat Chinese food and sit on my couch and gain five or 10 pounds!

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.

Celebrities have more influence to be able to reach out to people, but people are becoming famous on Facebook and social media every day.

Acting is therapeutic.
