We're very sure to stay in character, to experience the Sharknado as though it was real. That's what acting is.

Being married, I've got so many things to do that I am the last to do things for myself. Taking care of my body has been difficult, but I am doing the best that I can.

For me, to get to play an action hero in a science fiction film is a marriage of two genres that I'm a huge fan of.

My mom was always so supportive; she enabled me to pursue my dreams. I danced on Broadway as a kid, and she would never miss a show.

In this business, it's important: if you consider yourself a journeyman actor like I do, you need to stay topical. So I'm always looking for projects that are challenging, that put me in a light that's different from anything I've ever done before.

When I got the call from Chippendales, my jaw dropped, as it came on the heels of TMZ calling me fat on national TV. I am passionate about health and fitness, so I've kept in shape, and dancing is something I've always enjoyed, so I figured, why not?

I never envisioned that I would be able to bring something to the entertainment table that would fit Las Vegas. Vegas is so presentational; it's live theater and, for me, it's always been film or television, which isn't why people come to Las Vegas. So it's exciting to be apart of all of this, the thrust of the entertainment of Vegas.

I feel blessed: having a family is something that I've always wanted. Having a second child is the realization of a dream come true.

You have to be careful of social climbers. There are a lot of potholes out there.

I have two children of my own; I can't imagine anything more horrific than to have a child suffering with EB.

In the entertainment industry, there remains one constant: change.

Ideally, it would be five days a week, spending at least an hour at the gym doing cardio three of those days and resistance training all of those days. My cardio is typically interval training.
