I’m trying to be really coy, and I’m not sure if I’m doing a good job.
Keep in my mind my dad didn’t become a huge, huge mega actor until I was halfway through high school, so right around the time he’s going through his big renaissance is right when I’m starting to do my high school revolting.
A baby’s existence for the first three months is a one-way street. One person is doing all the work and the other is crying, sleeping and pooping. So the first moment when you’re actually able to do something and they acknowledge your presence, that’s a big deal. A very big deal.
I pretty much know that directing means that you have to answer about a thousand questions every day and you have to answer them quick.
I probably need another couple of years of absorbing that and really looking at it to be able to do it because you actually have to know everybody’s job and I don’t know everybody’s job yet. I’m just now comfortable with my own.
There is never a specific theme or anything I have interest in. Really, I make decisions based on decisions that are made by other people and whatever is presented to me, and I do it on a first come, first serve basis, and go from there.
Some people receive medication in order to properly deliver films.
There is a part of me that is desperately wanting to not necessarily be this cute, endearing, heart-on-his-sleeve type of character that just wants to be liked.
I’ve always really been a fan of scenes in which you’re able to be as natural as you want.
You learn stuff from your kids, every day.
I love Calgary. It’s a great city. I enjoyed my time there, quite a bit. Shooting and filming in that cold could be very difficult, at times. When you’re shooting nights, and it’s 3 in the morning and minus 35 degrees, that’s hard to work in.
Sometimes you have to play like it’s a little bit warmer, which is hard when you can’t feel your face. You just try and do the best you can and make sure that you become really good friends with wardrobe, so that they give you all sorts of hand warmers and body warmers.
I’ve always been a big fan of comedy and sketch comedy, and I like to laugh, but you can’t just be funny. You do have to work at it, and you have to try to know what your role is and when you can insert humor, or when it’s best not to.
I’m a big comedy nerd, so I’m always looking for the chance to be funny.
There are people that have only seen me in dramatic stuff and they go, “Oh, I didn’t know you could do comedy,” and then there are comedy people that go, “Oh, I didn’t know you could do drama.” I want to try to do both.
I’m always looking for a chance to do something different. I don’t necessarily want to repeat myself, at any time, and I don’t want to just do the same guy, over and over and over again. I want to be able to do different things and to evolve and constantly try to find those roles.
I’m always constantly trying to find stuff that’s different. It’s a way to keep me on my toes and keep me interested and keep me excited about work.
I never had any idea that I would have a career quite honestly. You never really have any idea what is going to happen. You have an idea of what you would like to happen.
I come from a visual background. I used to work in the camera department at Warner Bros. when I was a teenager. I grew up dusting lenses and learning about photography.
I love working with actors. I grew up with a lot of actors. All my friends are actors. I love that process.
