I'm more of a strumming guitarist, instead of a lead soloist guitarist.

I started out singing in high school in the choir and in a garage band.

My first soldier role was in 'Flags of Our Fathers.' Casting director Jay Binder saw that movie and was looking for soldiers for 'Journey's End,' which led to 'Generation Kill.'

I'd love to be on a TV series someday, but I believe you get the jobs that you're meant to get. If the job that I'm meant to get is another musical or another play or film or TV show, I'm just happy to keep working.

When you fall into a midseason slot, you have the sort of blessing of not being on television while you shoot most of your season.

Luckily for me, when I was growing up in high school, I had a band, and I was a singer in the band. I'm less of a legit Broadway singer than I am a pop-rock singer.

I grew up in Texas in a family that fished and hunted, so I've shot guns as a kid.
