The thing that helped me get into the film business was that I went to school in Athens, Georgia and managed to get on, um, working on music videos for a band called R.E.M. and that kind of opened up a lot of doors for me.

'Friday Night Lights' was kind of like my college years because I did four seasons of that. It was my first series.

'Wolf of Wall Street' opened up a lot of doors for me. It was such a massive opportunity, which provided me with only more opportunities.

Arrested Development opened a lot of doors for me, and once I sort of became, I guess what you'd say "available," there was a lot of opportunity out there, and it's been nice; a lot of people have found it in their hearts to offer me movie parts.
I never imagined myself doing this. Doors opened for me and I ran for it.
'America's Got Talent' has really opened a lot of doors for me. I want to do a lot more TV.
