There are a lot of stereotypes to be broken which I think a lot of us are doing. What I do is, as soon as people try to pin me down to one kind of part, I'll play a very different kind of role, so it explodes that stereotype.

I became stereotyped.

I started as an actor in the theater playing a lot of character parts, and suddenly, I found myself in this place where it felt like I was getting locked into a kind of a stereotype, and it did bother me.

Everything about acting was either the opposite of my personality or it just didn't seem like something I wanted to be a part of.

I really fought to make my character not a stereotype. I play a soap star with dyed blonde hair.

I've just been really lucky to not be too much of a stereotype.

It took me a couple years to get over the stereotype I was letting myself get caught up on, being a football player trying to start a career in music.

I think in the past I think I probably was a little too diverse, probably went from one spectrum to the complete opposite and confusing people.

It was an ongoing struggle to say no, I don't want to be a part of the perpetuation of this stereotype.
