It's all about hustling, whether it's in Boston or the film industry. I've been hustling my entire life - acting my way into trouble and acting my way back out again. I'm just fortunate to have had the opportunity to apply it in a different direction.

I work out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday; take Thursday off; then I work out Friday and Saturday.
