(Christian on landing his first acting role) Christian: It was six months after I got out here. I knew no one. I came out with nothing but my truck and some clothes, when I was 21. The second audition I got was for ``Fame L.A.`` and the character was supposed to be a comedian. I said, ``I`m not really that funny, but here`s what I can do, I can sing. And I can. I`ve sung backup for my cousin, Brandon Hart, who`s a country singer in Nashville. So they made the character a singer.

Christian on his parents) Christian: I have very loving parents. My parents are the greatest in the world. My mom should actually get an award, I swear to God. She`s probably the best mom in the entire world. My dad`s just a country boy, so that`s the way I grew up. He wasn`t afraid to use force, and he wasn`t afraid to give me a kiss. He`s a great guy.

Christian giving a word of advise to aspiring actors) Christian: If you move to L.A. because you’re good looking and you think you’re going to be a star, you’re an absolute moron. This is the land of beautiful people. It was just pure luck. That’s how it works out here. But when you’re lucky enough to get your shot, you have to have something to back it up.
