A: I wouldn't say it was destiny because it took me a long time. I didn't get into it until my late 20s. Before that I wanted to be a writer, a filmmaker, a lawyer …
; Q: You're an actor: Are you always Acting!?

A: Yeah, sometimes I act like I'm happy, sometimes I act like I'm listening, sometimes I act like I care.
Q: You're a director: Are you always Directing!?
A: Um, yes. And I'm often directing myself, and I often don't listen to myself, so I'm often yelling at myself.

Q: Who most influenced your style?
A: Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Jonathon Davis and Fred Durst and the Phantom of the Opera.
Q: Where do you shop?
A: Wherever they sell clothes cheaply. I often shop at the costume department here in the theater. I shop wherever I can get shoes for $10 and shorts for $15, and wherever I can find the coolest T-shirts. Right now, I'd say Hot Topic, they have some cool T-shirts there, and Spencers has some cool shirts, too. That's what I'm all about, I'm all about style.
Q: Anything else?
A: Being the fashion mogul that I am, if any of your readers need any tips, they can give me a call, or they can stop in and we'll have some coffee and a little chitchat.
