I talked to my agent and said that, basically, I'm the Taylor Lautner of TV. We both have our shirts off a lot. And we have the same agent, so we goof around about it. I'm waiting to open a script and see my shirt on.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My brother's friend worked at a TV station, so we went in; the producer of a show asked if I wouldn't mind taking some photos for his wife, who was a talent agent. Next thing I know, I'm enroute to the agency.
If my shirt's off all the time on national TV, with 20 million people watching, I want to look my best.
I used to wear sweats and a T-shirt to auditions, but my agent would yell at me and tell me I had to look nice and presentable. So I had to drop that habit.
Over the years, I've had a few roles where I've had to take my shirt off. I've kind of been the 'shirt-off' guy.
If I'm going to be on national T.V. without my shirt on, I've got to look good.
No one - apart from my agent, perhaps - should leave one of my shows in tears.
As movies and TV projects come up, they go out to the agents, and we just go out and audition for them.
I signed with an acting agent first; I wasn't really interested in signing with a modeling agent. But that same day, they said, 'You should go over to Ford.'
On the clothes front, I have a designer who sits with the director for each film to chalk out a look for me based on the script.
You know, Taylor Lautner, with a body like that, he should be taking his shirt off. For me, it's not so essential.
