I got into medicine at university, then deferred a year to see. Then I started acting and just never went back to university.

Acting is a freelance career... you never stop having to prove yourself and fight for work.

I started acting at the University of Michigan in my sophomore year.

I like working intensely, then going away and thinking about it, working out why it didn't work and then coming back to it. It makes the work richer, I think.

It's good to see a man who isn't afraid to live out his masculinity.

Alison Carr on 'Homeland.' She was such great character to play, so clever and full of surprises. I was sad to see her go.
