Thanks to Philomina for the heads up.
1. How did you get into acting and what was landing your first TV role like?
I've been acting pretty much since I popped out of my mother's womb... School plays and impromptu living room performances and such. But I didn't get into acting, professionally, until I set off on my own at 18. When I got to LA, I started pounding the pavement, hustling like everyone else in this damn town.
My first job? It was the best feeling in the world... for about three days. Then it was over. And I was back to being a waiter again. Which sucked.
2. You played Cpl. Evan 'Q-Tip' Stafford on HBO's miniseries "Generation Kill". Can you tell us a little bit about the experience and your thoughts on the show?
Best job ever. A bunch of incredibly cool, wonderfully talented young guys playing with guns in the desert for 8 months. What's not to like?
It also happens to be the product I'm most proud of. I was working with my hero (David Simon) on powerful, significant material in a relevant contemporary context. Working on something like that reminds you of how meaningful and important film and television can be. It was a dream job.
3. You were in almost 80 episodes of "The Young and the Restless". How different is working on a daily soap from a weekly TV show?
As an experience, it's all pretty similar. At the end of the day, you're making believe in front of a camera. The material itself, the number of takes you get, the quality of the image... it's all what you make it.
