“I am part of a circuit called 24 Hours of LeMons, where it's a sort of riff on 24 Hours of Le Mans. It's a poor man's weekend warrior racer event.”

“A lot of shows have couples with issues inside the relationship.”

“If I hadn't become an actor, I would've pursued a race-car driving career.”

“That's probably fair to say that there is a certain amount of pressure to deliver your next role when you do have a fan base as potent as the 'Battlestar Galactica' family. There was certainly a lot of curiosity to all of us on that show - what are you going to do next? Where can we see you next? That was a question we got more often than not.”

“You just can't fake chemistry.”

“I'm the luckiest guy alive.”

“It's an interesting plot device to enter in a third wheel - it always helps raise the stakes for all parties involved. But often, those characters can be one-dimensional.”

“I would love to shoot in San Francisco permanently. It would be such a joy to come back home full circle.”

“The most important thing is to illicit some reaction, good or bad. If some people are repellent to me, so be it. If some people are attracted to me, great. At the end, that's the object of entertainment - you want to provoke a reaction.”

“I have a coffee mug that my dad gave me years ago that has the San Mateo police logo and my dad's name on it, so I brought it to set and used it in a scene. I mean, you don't see it, it's not prominently featured, but I just wanted that connectivity.”

“I come back home almost every weekend, or my wife comes up every other weekend to Vancouver. So, in that sense, we make it work. It's just a great city. It's a great country. They've been good to me, and I have no problems being up there.”

“I try to have a true line in every character I play.”

“Guys like scars! They're like war wounds.”

“I hate to dance. The thought of having to dance terrifies me.”

“Once I discovered the theater at Santa Clara and once I got into the theater program, I never got into specific criminal justice studies.”

“My friends all tell me I was born with a horseshoe up my butt.”

“I really believe that we have the power to manifest our own fates.”

“I'm not accustomed to taking a swing at a woman's head. That's not in my DNA.”

“I don't really retain much from the first couple semesters of my criminal justice studies.”

“I don't want to get pigeon-holed into a certain kind of character. I love action roles and the hero, but I want to keep trying something new.”
