I never dislike anyone that I am in competition with. I welcome the challenge. Besides, I get along with just about everyone.

Part of my success was having a place to play as a kid.

If I had the hand strength to sign autographs for everybody in Kansas City, I would... but its just impossible to get to everyone.

My favorite NBA team are the houston rockets and favorite college team are the duke blue devils.

Characters in TV and theatre tend to experience a lot of conflict, so I push myself through sport to physical and emotional levels that hurt so I've some other reference for extreme experience that isn't me shouting at my girlfriend or my mum. It's a way of controlling the uncontrollable.

The injury that ended my time in football turned out to be serendipitous. I tore my Achilles while training for a pending tryout with the New York Giants, and when it snapped, so did my career, basically. That's what led me to gain the confidence to get into the acting world on my own terms.

As a young lad it's been your dream to play football and you get injuries and you've got to respond well to them and work really hard, because it's your dream to be on the pitch.

Contrary to popular belief, there are actually quite a few guys in the action sports community that have faith and are Christians.
