I've been taking martial arts for a long time. I started with tae kwon do, and then I started taking karate and mixed martial arts.

'One Tree Hill' really had an impact on my life. It was the first time I left my house and my family in New York and went to a small town in North Carolina. It was the most incredible experience for me.

I actually take karate and tae-kwon-do. And so I love sparring and grappling and all that physical stuff. I studied a hybrid form of grappling, sparring, and self defense; it's more of a 'get yourself in shape,' and if you want to take it to the next level, so you're really learning valuable skills with self defense, and I really enjoy it.

There are those special projects that don't ever feel like work but just a blessing to be a part of, and 'Revolution' is one of those projects.

When I develop a character, I usually start by creating a backstory with whatever information I have access to.

I directed a half hour comedy pilot, 'Upgrade,' and had one of the best times ever! I had such a great time directing; I would love to get to direct another project.
