I do have a huge fascination for science, and I love to hear what my dad has to say. He used to take me into minor surgeries when I was a kid and let me watch, so I definitely have a passion for it, but it's not as big a passion as I have for acting and creating characters.

I'm not from the States, so Thanksgiving, for me, was never a huge tradition.

That's the beauty of the acting world. You can play so many different characters who know and do so many things that you have no idea about as yourself. So I'm a big fan of workshops and classes and learning new things because you can always apply it. It's your little supply bag of creativity. Keep filling it up.

I know a lot of procedurals have huge viewership, yet they're never nominated for awards.

I was always such a skinny kid, so I kind of grew up with an 'I hate skinny' mentality.

I was born here in the States. I moved to Portugal when I was five. And then my parents put me in an English school.
