“That's what frees up an actor: when you don't have to be responsible to likability.”

“Do I believe in vampires? I've got an agent. Even more, I've got a manager. So yes, I believe full well in vampires and blood-letting.”

“There's probably somebody out there who has been dying to be Tony Stark, their whole life, and it will never happen. And then, it comes to me because I happened to do 'Heroes.' I mean, I love it. I'm totally respectful of the position, but I wasn't pursuing it.”

“Nathan Fillion is one of the greatest men that's ever walked the earth, as far as I'm concerned.”

“I have a channel on YouTube called Buckshotwon. It started off as a kind of joke, just behind-the-scenes goofs.”

“I didn't have the opportunity to finish college and I was quite sad about that.”

“It's always very fun to play someone who's somewhat enigmatic, but at the same time there are underpinnings of real concern for mankind. That was what 'Profit' had a lot of.”

“A lot of directors understand everything but the story.”

“Every film I've done, I've tried to pick ones where I can learn.”

“I think network TV to a large extent has underestimated the intelligence of the American public for so many years now. It's tried to appeal to the lowest common denominator. I think the average viewer is much more intelligent than that and crave a little more complexity and are willing to pay more attention.”

“A lot of the dysfunction that exists underneath the surface of a lot of big business corporations is really profound.”

“I don't consider myself to be a celebrity. If anything I'm a minor celebrity or a TV star or whatever.”

“You'd think they could spit out shows better than 'Champs' and 'High Incident' with the pool of talent involved, unless they're just throwing money at people to create shows and they're not really behind them. I mean, the best thing they can do is 'Champs,' a half-hour comedy about men being stupid? People can just look around and see that.”

“I never grew up with heroes in show business. My hero was my father.”

“What you would call a 'lead,' I've always considered a supporting part, and what people would call 'supporting parts,' I've considered leads. In a way, I look at it in reverse, because supporting parts - when they're done correctly - are the ones that are progenitors for storylines, to move forward.”

“Austin is home in a lot of ways. Both my kids were born here, and my wife's side of the family lives here.”

“I don't think 'Profit' is devoid of morality. He's just on a different plane than the rest of us.”

“I haven't ever been stereotyped or pigeonholed or put into a box.”

“It's much juicier to play somebody a little more evil than Dudley Do-Right.”

“I love dogs.”
