In a weird way, I live vicariously through the characters I play as an actor.

As an audience member, I live vicariously through the characters I watch or read about. There's something very relatable about comic-book characters. They're never perfect. They're flawed people put in extraordinary circumstances.

I grew up in a crazy, gypsy-like household of actors, dancers and loony Broadway people. It was their way of life, and I didn't know anything else.

Canadians have this weird way about them where we really stick together.

In a weird way, I'm always going to ground myself. I'm an insecure kind of pessimist, but I'm always kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I was really lucky that, through my 20s, I got to work with some amazing people, and I tried to sit back and watch and learn.
