Charlie Sheen is who again? Denise is engaged?
I do still get a lot of recognition from that show. It was great at that time. I was granted an incredible education, because it was Steven Bochco, high quality, one camera... had a great time and made some money to boot.
I felt a little green, because Shakespeare writes the thought process within the text; it was tricky not to think of what to say and then say it, and instead just deliver the lines.
I have more artistic control in a smaller show. But it doesn't really matter. Sometimes you can have the smallest role in the smallest production and still make a big impact.
I like the tube more than the NY subway though, you've got cushioned seats.
I loved Rent when I first heard it, but it grew on me and so did Tick, Tick... Boom. Some songs are more interesting than others and sometimes the ones that never stood out at first end up being the best to perform.
I would not dream of taking on Tobey Maguire. Plus, he's a talented and nice guy, and I have nothing but nice things to say about him.
I'm a games and theory kind of guy. I love puzzles, so it was fun dissecting Shakespeare's prose.
I'm a good tipper, depending on the service. I tip based on whether they did the little things like re-fill my glass. If they're bad I won't tip, just to prove a point.
I'm in a play on Broadway, I have an animated TV show coming up, I have a few movies that just came out.
I'm restless. Luckily I have the kind of job where if I get bored with something I can move on, take up another role and re-invent myself.
I'm shocked at how early everything closes here. But people start earlier. I miss the late nightlife in NYC, but then again I sing and burn so much energy in the show that it's probably good-I get to go home and sleep.
I've been taking a trapeze class for the last couple of years. I'm working on my double back flip right now.
I've got no plans to be a ballet dancer at the moment.
If I wrote a musical it wouldn't be about me. Although I do some magic, so it would probably be about a magician who appeared and re-appeared all over the place.
Instead of using foils in the battles we used these large two-handed broadswords and wreaked carnage everywhere. It was a very dark production and my first Shakespearian play.
It's nice to establish yourself as an actor first and a singer second. Proof is such a tremendous piece of work, and I'm incredibly lucky to be a part of it. I'm sure that the musicals will happen in the future, though.
It's really something for people who are approaching 30 to take a look at what that means to them. I think turning 30 is a chance to re-identify with yourself.
My parents own a restaurant in Albuquerque.
On MTV, the dialogue can be a little darker, more interesting and edgy... the animation is just phenomenal. It's a CGI program that's doing all the animation.
So I've done my fair share of theater. I have also been very fortunate in that I've been able to come to New York two or three times a year just to see as many shows as possible. I think the live theater culture here is incredible.
Starship Troopers was great. It was great fun to work on something with blue screens and big budget special effects. Denise Richards was nice to look at too, of course.
Thankfully I've been quite lucky in my career, but it's always good to re-evaluate things and think about what else you want to do.
Tobey's a mellow, cool guy. He's just a good guy. I know that's not the answer you want, and I don't mean that as the political thing to say, but he's a nice guy.
We're in such a volatile climate right now politically. I think they didn't want Assassins to not succeed due to popular opinion and politics, versus on its own merits. I can respect that.
When I auditioned for the show, I didn't realize it was an MTV production, which is going to make for really good tunes during the episodes, if nothing else.
