I play characters who are comfortable naked, but that's something you work up to. I did a play off-Broadway in New York when I was in college. It was full-frontal nudity. It's nerve-racking.
I mean, I feel like I've been pretending I was a werewolf since I was a little kid.
I mean, everyone walks into the gym on day one skinny or fat. Arnold Schwarzenegger walked into the gym skinny at 15 or 16, and I was that way, too.
I mean 'One Tree Hill' had some rabid fans - you'd be surprised - they're almost in a class of their own.

Acting was the only place that I ever felt like I belonged so went for it with everything I had.
Acting was my first love.
David Ayer was put on my map, at that point, and I always kept note and clocked his career. When he started directing, I saw Harsh Times, I saw Street Kings and I saw End of Watch.

I don't really care what anybody says out there about what I did in the film; I care what these guys thought about what I did. If I'm making them happy, then I know I'm on the right track.
