For those who don’t know you, explain how you went from a young child to ending up pursuing a career in acting?
That’s pretty circuitous. It was nothing that I ever really planned. I guess going back to when I was really little, I was always just kind of weird, creative, and loved to draw and write. My sister and I would come up with plays and put on different performances at home for my parents to those 45 records. That was always really fun but it was never really a thought of, “I could do this for a living.” I grew up in a family, which was very much structured like, you take care of your schoolwork...
Being that you started in acting later in life, how did the late start affect your career in acting?
This is a youth driven business, and I think whatever part of the business you want to get into, it does help to start younger. However, it can be very dangerous. You see a lot of people come out here when they’re 18 and they’re still developing their personality and forming who they are as a person, so if you don’t have a really strong support system and an inner confidence, you see people all the time get chewed up and spit out from the system. It’s just how the machine works. Although I wa...
What part of the film industry are you primarily in?
Acting is what got me into the business, but now I’m moving more into writing than acting. I’ve gotten a little into the production side of things too, but acting and writing is what I love most.
What’s a common misconception about acting that goes unnoticed by the majority of the public?
I have these conversations with my fiancee Agnes, a lot. It’s tough because we get up everyday, we might memorize 5 pages of dialogue, then drive through heavy traffic where you get to sit in on an audition just to perform for maybe two minutes. It’s hard because you put your heart and soul into a role and you might study for days, but there is just no guarantee at all. That could be the only two minutes you get, so it’s frustrating when you give it your all and get nothing back in return. It...
What has been the hardest role you have personally encountered and why?
I would say there was some very challenging scenes on the most recent film I did called Monumental. I play this kind of fuck-up character that has a really shit dad, so for a few days I have the realization that I’m turning into my dad and so I have a confrontation with him where I just lose it. I breakdown and cry for almost 10 minutes, so getting to that moment as an actor and telling myself “it’s ok to just let this happen” and “I’m not going to get embarrassed about anything,” was very ch...
What emotions are the hardest for actors to recreate?
Strangely enough, I think you will find a lot of other actors say this too, but joy. Just pure joy can be very hard to access at times and sadly I think it is somewhat a mirror image of our life with all the fear and negativity that we’re bombarded with. How many moments can you think of where you just say, “I was so completely happy in this moment?” You know you would think joy is really easy to get to and access, but it’s not.
Given their status and reach within society, what role do you think film/celebrities play within the social direction of society, even branching into political/social conscious movements?
Well first of all, I think it’s personal and each person has to individually decide if they want to use this as a platform for something else or not. I respect both ways. I respect the people who keep their lives and family out of the spotlight and want to live a normal life. At a certain point that becomes impossible, but I also admire the people who pick up a flag and say this is a cause that I’m really passionate about. You may think “I’m just an actor/writer and what the fuck do I know, s...
Sticking to that subject, what is a social movement your passionate about?
I would say children. There is just something to me that breaks my heart when a child is sick or abused and can’t get proper medical care even though we are one of the richest countries in the world. That just really breaks my heart to see because I know we can be better about that and it’s just so easy to mess up a young person if we’re not careful. I also would say, started in large part because of my fiancee, being aware of the cruelty to animals and how it not only affects animals but us,...
With the rise of the Internet and the age of information that brought so many new socially conscious topics and events into the light, do you think movies/television will branch out into a more soc...
I think you can already see it. You might not be able to blatantly point it out like, “wow they’re really hammering this point home,” but I think if you pay attention and look closely at the really good shows, those themes are interwoven into the story. I think you see this in shows like Breaking Bad, The Wire, and even shows like The Walking Dead have subtle themes like that. The writers have just become incredibly good and therefore can weave so many things in the story indirectly. I hope t...
Where can people find your most current work and what is on the horizon for you?
As far as my current work, there are a couple of my recent films on Netflix and Amazon Streaming right now, including Devils Passand my episodes of Burn Notice. Also, you can find Lost in a Crowd, which is the improv film I worked and am really proud of, online at http://lostinacrowd.vhx.tv. As for what’s on the horizon, I recently just did a sci-fi movie called Watch the Sky, which I was an actor in, so that’s currently in the process of being sold. I’m also working on writing a few TV shows...
Lastly, what advice would you give to any young actors out there who are about to set out on their own journey into the art of actin?
Do it only if you love it. If you’re thinking, “I’m going to come out to L.A. and make some easy money and get famous,” then why are you doing it? If you’re passionate about it and absolutely love it, then come do it. Give it everything you have for as long as you can and if it’s not what you want to do anymore, then don’t do it anymore. I think too many times we get tied into that mindset of “this is the life you have to live” and “these are the choices you have to make”. I say No! Do what m...
