I think that for some people faith is good - they have something to draw,to.

I love playing odd roles.

I grew up all over Idaho - I was born in Emmett, a very small town.

I was obsessed with it.

Yeah, I left Idaho at 17. You know, I graduated high school a year early,and just, you know, the typical story, packed up my car and moved out.

The first part of my career, how I was paying the bills was commercials.

I was just doing tons of commercials.

I was on the snowboard team at my school, but that was the only sports team I was on. I played soccer growing up in elementary school.

I love coming of age stories that have struggle.

I live a good life but a pretty simply life. I just store all my money under my mattress. My wife and I travel, and I bought my dream car, the Cobra.
