I work so hard for the fans who watch our show.

To be honest with you, I get a little fed up with actors who act crazy to make themselves more interesting.

Most of my stuff before CSI was kind of the jerk boyfriend, so I thought this was one of those deals, where these two have a thing going on, so we had a scene where they make out.

There are a lot of times that if a detail in a scene or a beat, feels unnatural, they'll allow me to explore another direction to go until we're all comfortable with what we are doing.

The show has boundaries right now we're trying to widen them not break them.

I've seen a dead body, I've seen some pretty gruesome fist fights, I've been a hunter since I was a child, though I don't anymore, I've gutted wild game.

I've been trying to pick up painting but it's hard.

I'm interested to go other places, I've been the boy in the bubble since we've been shooting, I need to go travel a little bit, see where the action is, other than going to see family, of course.

We give each other a hard time, but no pranks.

Any time you put a cast like this in compromising circumstances or shake it up a little bit, I think we're all pretty close so we draw on real emotion.

I think my character's getting to the point where he can't even eat spaghetti with red sauce anymore, where he has horrible nightmares, he can't sleep anymore.

I think I'm a fan of people who were brave, my aunt, my grandmother, those are my heroes.

I think I'll give it up, the fantasy is over, I wanted to play Spiderman, Peter Parker.

One lady wrote me and told me how she wants to see me get beat up and near death and that kind of stuff.

I think what's always been interesting to me than the science and the criminality with this job is what happens to your persona, your disposition, after day in and day out dealing with life and death.
