He's definitely an all-around player; he can do it all. But our team really needed some defense and he has been able to step in and do it and do a good job at it.

I have plenty of dream roles because there is so much I want to do, but my dream year would be to be in a single-camera comedy and then, on my hiatus, film a little low-budget indie drama.
