I've been doing a lot of deadlifting and squatting for overall strength.

I think there's so many actors out there that we see and we know as one thing but are capable of so much more.

I liked being one of the fastest guys on the field.

I love Chicago.

I want to do 'Chicago P.D.' for as long as it's on the air. I love the show; I love the Dick Wolf family. I think he's created something genius with the crossovers and having everyone on these shows inhabit the same universe as far as 'Chicago Med' and 'Chicago Fire' and 'Chicago P.D.'

I've always loved action stuff.

It's an interesting situation to be in to play a cop on TV and to know so many police officers through our training and our advisors.

The men and women that I've worked with on the police force are some of the most honest, heroic, and pure human beings I've ever met.

I definitely binge watch. My schedule is so inconsistent and crazy and hectic that if I get a chunk of time, it's like, 'Oh, sweet, I have three hours. I'm going to watch three episodes of 'Peaky Blinders' right now.'

Playing a cop on TV and working closely with actual cops on set, I do think the media does a disservice to our first responders.
