Im a massive science fiction and fantasy geek.

Im married to my job. Im obsessed with my work, and I run myself into the ground every single day. Unfortunately, a lot of other pursuits have to take a back seat.

The constant education is what keeps me interested. That's what absolutely fascinates me about this job. This week, I'm playing a faerie. Last year, I played a soldier. What am I going to be playing in six months? It's amazing! It's a wonderful job.

There's a lot of egos with actors. We certainly don't like to be directed by other actors, or anything like that.

Im massively scared of spiders. Even small ones scare the life out of me.

Everybody wants to be in the next Marvel movie.

I've played a super soldier, a doctor, a World War II fighter pilot, a professional footballer, and a meth-dealing junkie. All those things allow you to educate yourself about different worlds that you have to get familiar with.

I had a really weird moment when I was doing ADR, and I was watching a sex scene that I was in. I had this really detached moment where I realized I was looking at my own behind in third person.

What True Blood does really well is that it balances on the line between good and evil - you blur the distinction between the two.

I'm a creature who bores, easily. I could never do one job, for the rest of my life.

The headmistress was a very well-respected theater teacher. She taught me what stage left and stage right were, what a director was, and what all these things meant, which was something I had no concept of. She sent me off to drama school, at age 18, and I stayed there for three years. Before I knew it, I was working on a TV show.

I would have liked to have worked with Carrie Preston. I think Carrie Preston is one of the most talented actresses I've ever met in my entire life.

I will do anything for Guillermo del Toro, if he asked me. I would give him my first-born child.
