My family was always very supportive. Whether you're an actor or not, everybody hears the horror stories of people going to L.A. and trying to be an actor, and their dreams are crushed, and they end up working for the IRS. So they were always protective to the point that they wanted me to have a backup plan, which is understandable, but there was always something inside of me that knew: backup plan, schmackup plan.

I started in theater, and I love to go back to theater, just to have the experience and recharge my batteries, creatively.

I'm a 'Lost' guy, I love 'Lost.

You just want to make something that's awesome and that people dig, and I'm excited about it.

I mean, I like to consider myself a reasonably athletic guy.

As far as being an actor is concerned, you have to have passion. If you're not bringing the passion of the character into the room with you, you might as well not come into the room at all.

I just love going down into the crowd and getting people pumped up and dancing.
