Prison Break is so far-fetched, I had to make viewers believe that Michael is capable of making the impossible possible.

The backstory to anyone of mixed race is a lifetime spent being incorrectly perceived and choosing either to allow that misperception to continue or to correct it, so I am aware of identity and race as being much more fluid, I think, than someone who is "purely" one thing or the other. And acting does challenge me to address those particular issues.

I had my one guest star on The Flash, and that became several guest stars, and then they mentioned this new show.

To be honest, I find going out pretty scary and intimidating. Got all those people checking you out, with only one purpose: hooking up. I'm quite the dork, I'd rather sit home and play Scrabble. But that doesn't get you a girl, does it?

I think this is what college is all about: self-examination and dealing with those questions of "Who am I?"

My definition of cool is finding your own definition of cool and not necessarily taking your lead from what other people tell you or from what you might read from magazines or see on TV.

This role is more visible, and I grew up without a lot of that sort of modeling so I'm relieved and proud to have done this film.
