I like doing the mainstream, right-down-the-pike broad comedies as much as I like doing the kind of unorthodox different stuff.
I've had the pretty good fortune of working with some decent guys and gals.
There's a lot of actors I think that appear so much more together as the characters they portray as opposed to the actual people, so I know I've said this before: Hollywood's not a place where you're rewarded for growing up.
It's very tricky to throw a morally flexible character onto the screen and have an audience empathize. It's always an exercise in restraint.
Like a lot of people, I've got a self-loathing streak that's alive and well. It acts as a de facto engine when I'm working, but it also has its extraordinary pitfalls, too.
I'm not a hockey fan, which is probably why I had to leave Canada in the first place.
Are you stalking me? Because that would be super.
The stunts on the ground I can do, but I've never been good with heights.
I'm six foot two. If I need security around me, there's a problem.
It was comical because you're at a firing range, all these people are so seriously shooting their little guns.
I run in a pair of New Balances with a thinner sole, but they're nothing like those barefoot shoes that show all five toes. I have a bit of a phobia about those.
I never took acting classes, but I knew I could do it based on the skill with which I lied to my parents on a regular basis!
When I'm not training for a movie, it's more relaxed. I do a lot of running. Usually I'll run four to six miles about three times a week. You try to eat right, but you don't always.
I'm terrified that I'm genetically predisposed to only having boys. That's frightening. By the time I was 10 years old, and I'm not exaggerating, I knew how to patch drywall.
It's just that... working on 'Green Lantern,' I saw how difficult it is to make that concept palatable, and how confused it all can be when you don't really know exactly where you're going with it or you don't really know how to access that world properly - that world comic book fans have been accessing for decades and falling in love with.
When I meet thousands of fans of the comic - when I realize every one of them can recite the Lantern Corps oath ('In Brightest Day, in blackest night...') - I know how important this is to people.
I'm a bit of an M&M nut. I like the blue ones. I pick them out.
I think you have to let go of this idea that you can be precious about everything, and let it be the abstract mess that it is.
I find that I get a little depressed if I don't move my body each day, so sometimes it's just as simple as walking, and other times it's training for a marathon or some kind of personal goal that I'm trying to meet.
Anyone know the number to 911?
I was a really nervous kid. I was extremely sensitive. Incredibly perceptive.
I'm not one of those actors who romanticizes his trials working out and brags that he can bench press a panda now.
My career has been an inch at a time.
The problem with romantic comedies is you know the ending by the poster. So they're not movies you can keep doing over and over again expect satisfaction somehow.
When you have expectations, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.
Four months after we finished shooting, I'd been in New Orleans shooting another movie and my agent and I were having a bite to eat - actually in London - and he's sitting there and goes, 'Wow, I just can't believe how ripped you are.'
I feared disappointing my father more than anything in the world.
I believe in energy like dark energies. I believe that when a family moves into a house where six murders took place, there's going to be some bad juju in that house. But then again what the hell is wrong with you to be moving in that house to begin with?
Even if my father wasn't speaking to me, he would never, ever miss a baseball game.
A live action movie is work, and an animated movie is you showing up in your pajamas once every three months, or in my case, just a splash of baby powder. It's not any kind of heavy lifting.
I think there's escapist moviemaking, and we want to be captivated and taken away. If it's done right, you can craft an incredible film. There have been superhero films that I think are brilliant pieces of art.
I love Canada. It makes a nice hat for America. When America runs out of water, it's the first place I'll go.
I remember that coming to America was scary for me because everything here is just bigger, better, shinier, you know?
People in LA are deathly afraid of gluten. I swear to god, you could rob a liquor store in this city with a bagel.
I'll say this: The media wasn't invited to my marriage, and they're definitely not invited into the divorce.
Airplane toilets are aggressive. It wasn't until I got back to my seat that I noticed my pants and testicles were missing.
I remember being upset because I was finally legal to drink in Canada, and I decided to throw that all away and move to America, where I had to wait another two years. I came here to do improv and to try to join the Groundlings.
I played rugby for years, and I had a rugby jacket that I lost when I was 14. Somehow, my brother found it in storage 15 years later, and he gave it back to me for my 30th birthday. That was amazing and probably one of the best gifts I've ever received.
Every time I've gotten myself into trouble, it's because I'm choosing a project based on a long-term career goal as opposed to something that speaks to me at the moment.
I've had an alarming amount of concussions.
I grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia.
I read the 'Deadpool' series back in the '90s. I'm not, like, a huge comic book reader, per say, though. I'll check out 'Archie' when I'm in the grocery line, but that's about it.
A well-tailored suit is important - and I don't like wearing belts with mine - it should be tailored to your body.
Marathon running, for me, was the most controlled test of mettle that I could ever think of. It's you against Darwin.
I did as much as I could in Vancouver. You can only play so many ex-'Falcon Crest' sons in so many movies of the week before you burn out.
Went to Disneyland because my daughter's obsessed with Mickey Mouse. She was so excited when I got home and told her.
Acting has given me a way to channel my angst. I feel like an overweight, pimply faced kid a lot of the time - and finding a way to access that insecurity, and put it toward something creative is incredibly rewarding. I feel very lucky.
I think a fragrance is more of a signature than even what you wear - something you'll remember more down the road than a shirt.
It's funny, because there are so many stereotypes out there about actors and movie stars in general, but I've had a great opportunity to meet a lot of them, and maybe it's just because they don't behave that way around me, but I rarely see that kind of abuse of power.
