If you're lucky enough to pick what you do, that's the greatest career you can have. Ultimately, that's my goal: to have choices.
To me, the more bizarre the character, the more I'm attracted to it,
If you're an attractive guy, everyone thinks you're successful just because of the way you look.
If you have fun and keep a good attitude, people want to work with you.
I have always weirdly seen myself as more of a character actor. I have never been suave. I could never see myself playing James Bond. I suppose I could fake it, but I am certainly not James Bond in real life.
Over the years, I've learned that you can have fun with the fabrics and other elements, but if it's not tailored right, you'll blow it.
It would be cool to be invisible, but I'm afraid of what people would say about me if they didn't know I was there. Some things are better left unknown.
The more ridiculous the character is, the more sincerity you have to bring to it.
I was with my wife for five years before we got married, so we've been together since I was 22.
Voice work is usually not that big of a time commitment. You can go in for a couple of days or a couple of months, here and there, and just go in and play. I like being able to do that. You don't have that luxury on film sets or television sets.
I know I have a face like a model. But I’m actually just a goofy drama nerd underneath.
