What do you consider to be your best asset?

What, you mean, other than my cyber-interview skills? I consider myself a pretty good diplomat. I think if I wasn't an actor I'd want to help diffuse arguments for a living.

What was your proudest moment?

I gave my sister the Heimlich maneuver when I was a kid.

What is your favorite drink?

Judging by what I drink the most? Coffee. If we're talking brunch, I'll usually find my way to a nice'n'spicy Bloody Mary. If we're at the bar after the show and you want to buy me a drink? Daddy will take an Old-Fashioned please.

What is your favorite food?

Brazilian Food. Brazil is one of my favorite places in the world and the food is half the reason why.

What is your favorite condiment?

Chipotle Mayo and/or hot sauce. (Please note: Brazilian food is so good it doesn't usually require either of these)

What is your current obsession?

Jefferson Mays.

If you could give up one of your vices, what would it be?

I'd like to create my own physical comedy show.

What was the single most embarrassing moment you've ever experienced on the job?

This summer I was performing with children in Madagascar. In one remote village I contracted a stomach bug and had to keep leaving the stage to run to the “commode.” Not pretty.

The mountains on the South Island of New Zealand. Or Brazil. Or Madagascar. Or the Sierra Nevadas. I like the outdoors ok? Back off.

Sense of humor. My girlfriend makes me laugh like no one else can. That's hot.

Do you prefer the company of dogs or cats?

Dogs. Growing up, my family raised Guide Dog puppies for the blind, so we always had dogs around. And c'mon, cats are divas. Do they even like people? Nobody “keeps company” with cats, cat relationships are one-way streets. No thanks.

What is your personal motto?

How you do anything is how you do everything.
