Actor

From an early age, I knew I wanted to pursue a life in the arts, and so I was acting in plays all throughout high school.

That's the power of television. You come into people's homes every week, and that creates a familiarity and a false sense of intimacy.

I was a rugby player, I was a hockey player. You know, I just love to challenge myself, and I love to compete.

I played hockey my whole life until my ambition outstripped my ability, which happens to most Canadians around 15 or 16 years old.

You never appreciate your anonymity until you don't have it anymore.

I think the sooner that all of us in society stop accepting any type of bullying or harassment from other people - in spite of people's social standing or net worth or whatever it is - the sooner it will stop.

From an early age, I knew I wanted to pursue a life in the arts, and so I was acting in plays all throughout high school.

When I was 16, everyone else got a car; I got a motorcycle.

By the time I graduated from high school in Vancouver, I already had a whole support network set up for me in Los Angeles, so I just moved down.

I played hockey my whole life until my ambition outstripped my ability, which happens to most Canadians around 15 or 16 years old.

I love Canada. I am from Canada. I will bash the Canadian government but never Canada.

Sitcoms are fun. The whole multi-cam genre is always a lot of fun. You throw a live audience in the mix, and it's even better.

No one gave me a cake or a going-away party on my last day of 'Beverly Hills 90210.'

I come from a very blue-collar family, and a very hardworking family, and I think that my work ethic is maybe the thing that kept me on the straight and narrow.

I never exceed the posted speed limit.

I think it's great now that we seem to be in an era where it's OK to be gay and I think that the society in North America has had more of a problem with it than any other society.

It's a really big deal to have a star on the Walk of Fame; it feels like an incredible achievement.

If people think I am gay, yeah, hey that doesn't bother me. Not at all. What would people think? To me I am such a heterosexual guy. It doesn't even, I don't even think about it.

One of the fun things about being an actor is stepping outside yourself and outside of your own experience. It's challenging yourself to totally commit to something that in your core is so wrong.

I think the sooner that all of us in society stop accepting any type of bullying or harassment from other people - in spite of people's social standing or net worth or whatever it is - the sooner it will stop.
