My dad left when I was a little boy and I grew up with my mother's family. There were foundations in the U.S. where Jewish people got together and sent money to Cuba, so we got some of that. We were a...

So I've done my fair share of theater. I have also been very fortunate in that I've been able to come to New York two or three times a year just to see as many shows as possible. I think the live...

In fact, my uncle did his first full play at the Westin Playhouse because my dad put in a good word for him to the producer.

I'm working 2 days a week right now, narration usually on Wed., and host on camera on Friday.

I hate musicals. There, I said it.

We want to start a 'Flash' band. Everyone can play an instrument and sing.

I believe that God has a specific plan and reason He created each one of us.

A long-running TV series is a beast in that it demands you stick to one character over a long haul.

I actually got an initial sense of how big 'Outlander' was going to be on Twitter. We're all on there to help promote the show and also interact with the fans.

There's nobody in the arts in my family. It was kind of embarrassing to even say that I wanted to be an actor.

I went to school at Radnor High School. And I went to a liberal arts college in St. Louis, Missouri, called Lindenwood College.

I don't have a phone.

I still have not given up the idea of becoming a journalist, but at 17 I decided to follow my heart and stay in Los Angeles with my girlfriend as opposed to going to Johns Hopkins.

I did everything. I ran my life exactly as I wanted to, all the time. I never listened to anybody. I'm pig-headed.

'Homeland' is a thriller with a lot of cloak and dagger spy stuff, which is one of the things that makes it so much fun.

When I see things through my eyes, I don't want to ever just be really negative towards someone's performance. There are many ways to skin a cat. Sometimes I watch the guys, and they're doing...

Music is life, that's why our hearts have beats.

As an actor, you read so many scripts and parts written for Asian-specific characters, and you see a lot of stereotypes and a lot of one-note characters, especially in comedy.

You can't go forward and backwards at the same time.

There has been nothing more impactful on my life and meaningful to me than the introduction of Christ. That, hands down, blows away every joke I've ever written.

Theater to me is acting but it's more real on film.

Except here it's more power, more energy, younger and also in Europe it's still not only entertainment. Theater or films are looked at as a moral institution. That's why maybe they're so poetic. Here...

Eating a small piece each of ginger, garlic and onion on an empty stomach can ward off health issues.

If it doesn't reach the last poor man, your constitution is wrong.

My dad's a very shrewd, clever guy.

We are all quick to point out all the differences but not as willing to accept what bonds us as humans.

There is no such thing as playing someone else's character. Every actor takes a character and makes it his/her own while enacting it on screen.

I can adapt my game to anyone, whether it's Ric Flair, Chris Benoit, or Batista.

I have a suicide impulse.

The interesting thing for me is, if I met Michael Peterson in person, I'd want him to let himself off the hook just a little bit.
