I didn't watch a lot of cop shows growing up, but I am a huge fan of 'Southland' now. ”

My career will come full cycle one day when I play the father of a cute little kid missing teeth who spouts one-liners. ”

I backpacked all around the world and kind of found myself. Then I settled back in L.A. and found 'Rookie Blue.' ”

Acting is such a strange thing, it's different for everybody. ”

Some projects feel like the stars are aligning for them from the very beginning. ”

A couple of my favourite cop movies are 'I Love a Man in Uniform' and 'The Long Goodbye.' ”

The character I played on 'Everwood' was so serious and melancholic that after doing it for four years, it really started affecting my soul. I was becoming Ephram. ”

When I was 16, I was in a film called 'The Patriot.' I spent every second I could on the set watching the director and his team bring America circa 1775 to life. From that moment on, I was hooked. ”

I've gone through several cycles. When I was little, I was the cute kid with missing teeth and funny one-liners. Then I moved on to be the young guy who wanted to be a grownup. ”

It's hard to reinvent the wheel with a cop show. But 'Rookie Blue' has a pure emotional center that's not cynical. ”
