When I portray Stabler, I have to shave every day and cut my hair every week! And then, I really like to change my looks for films like 'Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle' where I have the pleasure of playing the ugliest man in the world. ”

The surprising thing about fatherhood was finding my inner mush. Now I want to share it with the world. ”

It is a weird feeling to have people go, 'Hey Chris' like they know me. But, number one, 99 percent of my experiences have been really cool. People couldn't be nicer and more positive. ”

My mother raised three children on her own and my dad was a doctor working 16 hours a day. ”

The good people constantly search for something different. ”
