- Was engaged to House (2004) co-star Jennifer Morrison. The engagement ended August 15, 2007.
- Just like his characters Billy Kennedy (Neighbours (1985)) and Robert Chase (House (2004)), his real-life father and brothers are all doctors.
- Former roommate of James McAvoy when he lived in London. The latter invited him to the Los Angeles premiere of The Last King of Scotland (2006).
- He was in the Australian Boys Choir.
- Is fluent in French.
- I'm glad I'm back to being a nobody.
- [noting that all his siblings are doctors] I'm the black sheep of the family.
- Like Billy [his character in Neighbours (1985)], my dad is a GP and my two eldest brothers are, too. If I wasn't acting, I would have definitely gone into medicine, too. It's totally fascinating.
- Mum decided that I could sing a bit, so she put me in a choir, which I hated and it was just a nightmare. I was a rebellious sort of choirboy.
- I started off with violin, then I started learning guitar, then I went to piano. But I self-taught piano just because I enjoyed it. I've always really enjoyed music. I haven't played much the last four years because I've been traveling around, so when I got his role [Neal in Uptown Girls (2003)], I had to start playing the guitar again.
