The life of a character doesn't just exist between action and cut.

You know, I'm from the South, and I wasn't interested in perpetuating a stereotypical southern character.

I really believe that when you're playing a character that everything is contained in the script. If I'm pulling from things from my own life, then I think I'm being disingenuous to the character and the story.

Whenever you show up on a set where you haven't been from the beginning - at least myself - I'm kind of quiet. I just watch the politics and how everything unfolds.

Like everybody, I've had a lot of pain in my life and I'm a work in progress. You must have a true desire to see the world from a different point of view, and that comes with growing up.

I'm drawn to villains that are three-dimensional and raw and that I can kind of see in my own life.
