WHEN YOU'RE NOT FILMING A MOVIE, HOW DO YOU CHILL? 
"I like to keep in shape by going to the gym. I also love martial arts and surfing." 
IF YOU WEREN'T ACTING, WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING? 
"I've always wanted to be a marine biologist. I took a bunch of marine bio and oceanography classes in school. I still love it. I watch the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet all the time." 
WHAT'S YOUR IDEA OF A FUN DATE? 
I don't like going on movie dates. I'd rather go bowling or miniature golfing. I love all that cheesy stuff." 
SO, HAVE YOU ALWAYS BEEN A LADIES' MAN? 
I've toned down a lot. I used to be a real jerk, juggling three or four girls at a time. One night, I was on a date with a girl, and I ran into two chicks I was also seeing at the time. They'd all figured me out and busted me. I freaked. But I'd never do that now." 
WHAT WAS YOUR WORST KISS LIKE? 
"It was my first time, and I didn't have a clue. Then the girl jammed her tongue down my throat." 
WHAT'S THE MOST SURPRISING THING ONE OF YOUR FANS HAS EVER DONE? 
"While I was filming Varsity Blues, some girls took photos with me, and they asked me to sign a few things for them. Then they sent me the photos of us together, which they had autographed themselves. I though that was pretty cute."
