I’ve gone out with a couple girls in L.A. that I met on Tinder, like on real dates. It’s hard to meet people.

My dad had a retail business in Leavenworth, Kansas, and there’s a whole bunch of prisons there, so it was a backdrop of my childhood, these ominous prisons sitting off the road.
5
My mom has this ugly Santa ornament, and one year, I took it off the tree and clipped it to her pillow. We’ve been trading it back and forth ever since – 16 years now. I wore it to the Golden Globes and even put it in her bird feeder. As the birds eat, it’s slowly revealed.
6
I’m a good boy! I do what I’m told; I’m on time. I’m always where I’m supposed to be when I’m supposed to be there. I don’t mess around with other people’s time and schedule. And I eat my vegetables. And my meats. And my carbs. And my dairy.

I’m a full-contact actor, meaning that I love to act in my toes and in my fingers, and I just try to keep it surprising.
12
I’m a regular dude from Kansas who grew up with pigs and cows.

I’m an actor in that I just want to create roles and characters and play parts that people remember and like or dislike or hate.

Don’t we all think picky eaters are a pain in the rear end? The good thing about the holidays is that it’s a buffet-style thing, so you can pick what you want. It’s about filling your belly, not theirs.
15
Because makeup happens in my life as an actor, face wash is a key. I use La Mer cleansing gel every morning, every night, sometimes three times a day. Also, I use Bobbi Brown’s Hydrating Face Tonic that you put on after you wash your face. It just rejuvenates your face. It takes away that morning face.
16
Right outside of Kansas City is Leavenworth, and there are, like, five prisons there. It was kind of the tapestry of my childhood. I was always fascinated. I wanted to know what was behind those walls.
17
Quickly you learn it’s way better to have fans talking and caring about you than not.
18
I tell people all the time that producers, writers, and directors really don’t know what they want until it walks into the room – you have to show them what they want. Everyone is rooting for you when you walk into the room. Everyone wants you to be good because it means their day is over!
19
I took a sociology class, and I got an A in it. Then I found out you could get an emphasis in criminal justice. I wanted to be an administrator.

23
Growing up, one of my cousins was an out gay man.
24
I like day-after-Christmas omelets, day-after Christmas pizzas… Or you take croissant rolls, put gravy on top, turkey, mashed potatoes, cheese, more gravy. That sounds good!
25
I like fresh and clean. I don’t ever want anyone to smell me and say, ‘Oh that guy is wearing a lot of cologne.’ I want people to smell me and say, ‘You smell really good!’ I think there is a difference.
26
I don’t think guys inherently don’t want to clean. I think the roles are most definitely changing, but I think in a good relationship, it’s never been defined as ‘a lady does this and a guy does this.’ I think, in most working, healthy relationships, everybody does a little bit of everything.
27
I wasn’t a great student; I was lazy. But when I was in sociology class, I listened.
28
The most important thing for me as an actor playing a character is to make you laugh. That’s my No. 1 goal.
29
I love cheeseburgers, really good Italian food, and really good Mexican food. I look the way I look because I’ve practiced a lot.
30
I like to be at a party and be a quiet observer, be in conversation. I wouldn’t say I was a class clown growing up, but I would definitely sit back in class and take snipes at the teacher.
