Quotes

"My favorite role ever was "Anthony Pascal" from,The House of Yes (1997) . He was like a "Norman Bates" before his,mom bought the motel years. You knew he was going to snap and something,was just a little bit off".

After years of feeling like an outsider, I finally have a woman I love,and friends that I can trust. I am the luckiest man in the world to,have met Sarah.

I never did drugs in my life, no matter how often it was thrown in my,face.

I really tried to live on my own world that no one would want to be a,part of. Unfortunately, that backfired, and people wanted to kick the,crap out of me because I was different.

The pole we were using as a light sabre hit the ground before I hit the,ground and then it stuck in my chin. When it came out a big old piece,of my chin came with it and my mom ran out screaming and she grabbed,the piece of my chin and we rushed to the hospital. They put it back in,and stitched it in and it looked like I had a beard at five years old,with my stitches. - On that scar on his chin.

I was in the Vancouver airport, and I was speaking with a young girl.

She asked if I was Freddie Prinze Jr.

I did "24" (2001) , it was terrible. I hated every moment of it.
