I've never gone for the smooth, suave Latin or French lover. That usually makes me think they're trying to pull one over on me.

I think sometimes the hardest obstacle is yourself. I can certainly be my own worst critic and oftentimes forget to enjoy the here and now. Physically, the hardest obstacle I have overcome was severe back issues. [This] resulted in finally getting surgery to replace four discs, which changed my life back to active - which is how I am happiest.

As an actor, if I just did sci-fi, I think it would get limiting, like if you just play lawyers or doctors, over and over. It's a lot more fun, if you get to play lots of different types of characters.

Do not expect anything; there is more to be gained by earning it.

Work hard, play fair, be kind to all living creatures, and take a moment to just sit back and breathe.

Treating myself is more about just going out and having a great hike, or going on a long motorbike ride.

Sitcom hours are silly easy compared to drama. Whenever an actor on a sitcom complains, I feel like smacking them!
