Danced his way through the music video "So Pure" with Alanis Morissette; the couple was dating at the time.

Admitted to suffering a bruised ego as a result of the cut his role in "The Thin Red Line," as the bullish Doll, took in editing. His subtly intuitive performance, while truncated, was still among the most moving.

Enjoys horse-back riding, swimming, drumming, and rapping in his spare time.
