I'm huge on spring and summer gardening. I'm really proud of my perennial beds. That's a passion of mine.

People got to know me very gradually. It was little things. It's still like that. 'That Thing you Do!' was a big thing. It's always been very gradual. Like I say, people still ask me if I'm still acting. 'I've seen all your movies. What are you doing now?' Ha ha!

I'm theater trained.

When I was younger, you get pigeonholed in parts, which is understandable.

I was in high school, and I was the guy that always got cast in the school play. Theater is huge in high school in Minnesota, and I knew that I was very good at that, and gifted, and I was 'the guy,' but it still wasn't something I ever thought of as 'a job' or something that one could do professionally.

My dad was the chaplain at Mankato State University, and my mom worked in the bookstore. We lived just off-campus. Then we moved to the suburbs of Minneapolis, to New Hope, which is where I went to high school.

I'm not a sci-fi kind of guy, to be honest.

The beauty of acting is you just get lost in it. You play the character, and you hope that it works.

I've done movies where they didn't have enough money to have trailers.

I feed horses and goats and sheep all day and, once in a while, come and talk about movies.
