- Was the recipient of an exclusive "Excellence in Theatre" award upon graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University, for a large repertoire of acclaimed, impressive performances given while acquiring his BFA therein.
- Worked as a cook for Wold Cup Coffee in Richmond, VA. When he told the owner he was leaving for California to pursue his career in acting, the owner (Jay), shook his hand and told him he knew he was going to be a star and not to forget them when he made it.
- Graduated from Frank W. Cox High School in Virginia Beach, Virginia in 1996.
- I don't want to name any names, but I've worked on television shows where there's a guy writing for my generation who's, like, 60 - and it doesn't work.
- I've done comedy, and I've done drama. I've sort of been a journeyman in my career so far.
- 'FlashForward' was a really fun show to make. Not to mention, I only worked, like, one day a week, and it paid the same as 'Happy Endings.' I got to make out with beautiful women on that show as well.
- V-necks are great because you can get a little fat and you still look kind of good - and I like to get fat sometimes, so it's nice. I like to fluctuate between the world of skinny and fat, so V-necks suit me well.
- I mean, comedy's hard. If you go back and look at the first season of 'Seinfeld,' it's a work in progress and that's what happens. It just takes time for people to figure each other out, and figure out timing, and to develop creatively with the writers.
