Personal Quotes
I've always dreamed about being on television. And I was. Then I dreamed about in movies. What could be better than the captain of a spaceship? I get to ride horses, shoot guns, have adventures ...
My favorite villains of them you do not see coming. What I enjoyed about playing Caleb, that he was very, very smart, very, very nice, and it is very, very distorted. I liked that he was not a typical villain. It is soft and sweet and righteous, and yet he's perverted and twisted in his head.

No one has ever shown such confidence in me that Joss Whedon has shown how to bring it gave me a sci-fi show Firefly, and allow me to play the villain for the first time.

You certainly can not, because it is against the law and society says that all that they have to say, evil. You want to be a bad day. You want to do evil is bad, that you can not get away with, but now I can be bad and super strong. This is a fantasy.
