I like to be in the now, now. Sometimes musicians have to wait for me to be genuine with it. As an actor, I don't have that luxury. You have to make it legit when they say 'action.'
The first acting I ever did was an Italian commercial. Once I did that, I said, 'this acting thing is awesome.'
People who haven't done commercials, don't appreciate how hard it is.
I wasn't trained to be in front of a camera, so there were a lot of challenges at first. But I didn't want to be fake.
I enrolled in an acting workshop and my first acting role was on the TV soap opera 'Melrose Place.'
After dubbing my lines for the first time, I'd say it's more difficult than performing in front of the camera.
I'm trying to get more into television and film. I know, like, a million models and rappers have said that, but I actually enjoy voiceover and acting in particular.
Karl Malden was quite a mentor. He taught me things he had learned from being in front of a camera so long.
I spent a lot of years just learning my craft and falling down in front of the camera.
I think film and television actually is a lot harder. Acting onstage is physically more arduous, but to get to emotional truth within a scene, it's much tougher to do it on film.
Small screen or big screen my job on set doesn't really change. The only difference with TV is I get to be surprised with new information just like the audience every time I get a script.
I was very green when I started in WWE and felt very uncomfortable with talking.
I didn't think I'd ever be an actor.
Even when I was little, people would always ask me if I wanted to be a movie star, and I would always say, 'No, I just want to be an actor.'
I'm a journalist and, before, a next TV star.
I'm a walk-on guy. When the director says, 'Action,' I'm on.
Over the years, quite a few TV producers proposed that I do a program, but I refused. I didn't want to work on a set that looked like a theater; I wanted a kitchen of the sort every chef dreams about.
I really have no plans for any kind of career in TV or anything, but if I wanted to become good at it, I could. But I don't really think it's in the cards.
I was so green, and my background was mostly in theater. The only thing I'd done in front of a camera, besides an infomercial and one commercial, was 'Brothers McMullen.'
While at college, I did my first lead on a network TV show, Medic.
Actually, I would love to make a music video. Maybe it would finally put to rest those persistent rumours that have followed me throughout my career - particularly when I was on camera performing - that I had died.
I learned how to act working in TV.
I started off in a small theatre performance company and worked my way into commercials.
I was inspired to become an actor from theater I'd seen, so I assumed I'd do a lot of theater. But when I left Guidhall, the first thing I did was a short film - I played the main character. And I loved it. I love working on camera. I love the smallness of it and the detail and the routine of it.
I was a 2-year-old baby on something, but it's not like I had lines. But I actually had my first lines when I was 4. And then I finished school, and I went to USC for their BFA program in acting.
