Nicholas D'Agosto

“I've had nine failed pilots. I've been doing TV for a long time.”

“I had never done anything like I had done in 'Masters of Sex.' Those are some very adventurous scenes.”

“I like going to museums and stuff, but I also like going out and doing lots of physical activity like camping and hiking. I like doing stuff that I've never done before. Curiosity is a big thing. Usually it means that people are intelligent and that they want to learn stuff about the world.”

“I can be serious, too, but I'm a goofy guy, so I like doing crazy things.”

“I've learned an enormous amount about the business itself, about what it takes - the stamina and the dedication and the diligence - to succeed out here... And I'm very, very thankful, and I have a wonderful career, but it's hard work... I'm very comfortable with who I am as an actor now and excited to try all kinds of things.”

“'Heroes' was such a big production. When I was there in the second season, it had been expanded so much. Fans of the series will remember, and many of them were upset about it, but they had expanded so many new characters that they were actually running two different units.”

“Every time a film comes together, usually the studio executives come up for a day to the set. If you're out of town, they'll fly in or wherever you are - the cast, the director, the producers - all get together and have a big dinner and celebrate the fact that we're about to start shooting.”

“The acting of the '50s is really stylized, so you're not really getting a lot of authentic, everyday characterization of people.”

“I wanted to be a priest when I was really young.”

“I want to be doing smart, fun, complex characters like most actors want to do.”

“What's funny about my resume is so much of what I've done has not been seen.”

“In the summer after sixth grade, I took a class at St. Robert Bellarmine. My first role, I was the villain in a play, and I forgot all my lines. I think I cried my way through the performance.”

“I'm very thankful I'm finding my way, and people are excited to bring me into roles that demand a certain complexity.”

“I can get incredibly angry, to the point that I get ashamed of my actions.”

“I think one of the hardest things about 'Final Destination 2' is that nothing's immediate about it.”

“One thing I wasn't quite aware of is that when you are extremely outnumbered by a lot of girls, and they become comfortable, it is outrageous what kind of stories they tell behind closed doors.”

“I'm happy to be working as an adult.”

“You wake up one day and realize, 'Now, I'm a veteran.' You just wake up one day, and you're like, 'I'm 35, and I've been doing this now for 13 years.'”

“When I meet a girl, I just sort of do really over-exaggerated terrible dance moves... a lot of hip movements. I get them laughing, and get them to feel pity for me, and then they like me!”

“You know that thing when you're not asleep but you're not awake, and you can't move your body? I had that kind of nightmare, and I felt like all my teeth were crumbling in my mouth. Now I have this fear of all my teeth being knocked out of my mouth somehow!”
