After college, I followed an ex-girlfriend to northern California, did a bunch of odd jobs and then sort of fell into modeling.
But now, I'm able to watch and see what separates good actors from bad actors and just little subtle things that they do.
Finally, you get the job, and you think you'll be dancing on the ceiling, but I just wanted to go take a nap. It was just like a weight had been lifted off or something.
I don't know, you know all through high school I just knew I wanted to do it.
I love football and beer and have a normal girlfriend.
I really feel like a regular dude who happens to be incredibly lucky.
I think everybody has crushes. I definitely had them. Alyssa Milano was one of them. But I think every teenage boy did.
I was so poor. They wouldn't let me on the floor as a salesperson, because I was so poorly dressed. And so I was the stockroom boy.
I went there and helped him shuffle pictures of people, and one of the agents asked me if I was interested in acting. Of course, I was a little bit interested in it; I'm sure that's part of the reason I moved to L.A. even though I never admitted it to myself.
I'll ride this out as long as they'll let me. And if it ends, I'll probably go back to school and be a dentist.
One of my favorite actors is Jack Lemmon. I would love to have a career like that.
The thing I can say about all this stuff that's going on right now is that I appreciate it.
The whole experience of working on this movie was so fun, and I had more fun working on that than I've had on anything else. I had more fun working than on my days off.
There are so many people in L.A. trying to get parts who are way better looking than me. You know what I'm saying?
There's a tendency to fall into certain habits, but if you tell yourself not to do that and if you don't stay there too long - I think if you start staying for too long, you tend to fall into certain bad habits, and I tried not to do that.
Those first few weeks, I was a nervous wreck. I wanted to be good from when I first started because I didn't want to be labeled as a bad actor.
When I first started, I wasn't really into movies that much unless it was an action-packed, gunslinger with naked women here and there.
You admire guys like Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, and Sean Penn. They avoid that stereotype so much by choosing these totally off the wall things.
You know, it takes a while to get used to - it's a whole group of people with all these ideas and after you sort of navigate your way through the first few episodes it becomes collaborative and creative.
