Actor

Awards shows... I just feel like a fish out of water at those things.

It would drive me crazy if I picked roles with the goal of being a leading man. You never know what you're getting into when you sign onto a project, and more times than not, the characters that are close to the leading man are more interesting and more fun to play.

My focus is to grow, have fun, and work with people who inspire me, like Philip Seymour Hoffman.

I guess I would like to play some more extroverts.

I don't think I'm a slacker, but I don't have aspirations to, like, conquer Hollywood. Or the world. Or anything.

'Breaking Bad' is great at blurring the line between good and evil. It makes you feel compassion for Walter White so you're with him throughout this descent into the darker parts of his psyche. The bad that we're capable of is all circumstantial.

I love playing guitar. I grew up with my dad playing. But acting is definitely the forefront, I guess I'd say, in terms of career and something that I really enjoy and feel lucky to be able to do.

I will say, I'm a great, great, great grandson of Stephen F. Austin. He founded Austin, Texas, which is kind of cool.

I look at someone like Chris Pratt with such admiration.

I grew up in a town outside of Waco, Texas, and we had 30 acres.

The reason you want to act is to continue to explore every different part of the human psyche.

There are early videos of me at three years old with a tiny guitar trying to sing 'Friends in Low Places' by Garth Brooks.

I played lots of bullies when I was a kid.

I grew up in a tiny town in Texas, so I understood the world of high school football.

'Grey's Anatomy,' that was a great show to be part of, but they work really long hours. They were all just really tired. Just worn out.

I'm open to all religions. Respecting Scientology is just like respecting any other religious view.

I sing a little bit. I got a guitar for my 16th birthday.

'Friday Night Lights' was kind of like my college years because I did four seasons of that. It was my first series. It was the most time I had with one character, and kind of growing and evolving with the character over that long of a span of time, it just allows you to sort of learn in a completely different way that I had never experienced.

Right after 'Friday Night Lights' ended, I was in sort of an existential crisis.

I grew up half the time in a small town called Mart, Texas, and half the time in L.A., because I was acting.
