I don't think it's a bad thing to go out there and challenge yourself as an actor.
Cote de Pablo is one of my best friends! We went to college together.
Activism isn't beautiful and easy, or a bunch of people getting together and picketing; it's a lot more complicated and difficult than that.
I'm a kid that went to theater school. I thought I was going to be making my living doing plays regionally or in New York or on Broadway, and maybe if I got lucky I would do a movie here or there.
What we really have to do is stop the adjective before the job title - whether it's 'black actor,' a 'gay actor' or anything actor.
My favorite actors are people who I don't know anything about, and I can project any character onto them.
There's always a need for new superheroes. As society changes, the types of superheroes will probably change as well.
To be honest with you, my physical state is usually dictated by the project I'm working on at a given time.
I think every guy and girl would love to get to play Superman at some point in their life.
If you're wearing suits and you want to create your own sense of style, get to the tailor.
While I feel that I have a great reservoir to draw from as an actor for lots of different roles, it is difficult because it can be an industry where it's people's jobs to thin-slice you really quickly and try to fit you into a niche in the market.
I consider 'White Collar' my home base. I'm so lucky to get to play a character that's very multifaceted and the writers take risks on and never get into a staid process with.
I'm from a very athletic family, and I thoroughly enjoyed sports as a kid, but acting was a way of expressing myself and having fun. It was something I found on my own.
I really just try to focus on my job, which is to be an actor, and outside that, the cards fall where they may, and on not getting caught up in how people react to certain things. That's a death trap creatively.
