When I was growing up, it was Clint Eastwood, it was Harrison Ford and Steve McQueen - these guys were tough. They were leading men, but they were also tough and physical.

Acting was the only place that I ever felt like I belonged so went for it with everything I had.

I was happier going back to my roots: training like men do in my hometown of Pittsburgh. Back home the guys in the gyms don't lift to look good; they're lifting to lift. They do it because they want to squat more and bench more.

I was kind of a dark kid. I loved Halloween, and I loved vampires and the black and white old monster movies.
