(On being asked if he preferred to be a rock god or sex god) I am neither. My favourite role is father.
I do lots of activities. I hang out with friends.

Growing up on Mad Men with so many incredible actors and then going on to other things with amazing people, I never had any formal acting training, but they are all acting schools, basically.
