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

My father is black and my mother is white. Therefore, I could answer to either, which kind of makes me a racial Lone Ranger, caught between two communities.

You have to love what you do, and you have to need it like you need air. And there's nothing else that would give me the same degree of satisfaction as acting, which is why I can't walk away from it.

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.

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

I want to aspire to something like what Denzel Washington does, which is try to find scripts written for white actors - or Jodie Foster, who reads scripts for male actors.

I've never seen American Idol but I am grateful to them. That show is one of Fox's biggest moneymakers, and some of that money goes to pay for shows like Prison Break. Simon Cowell's been signing my paychecks and for that I say thanks.
