We give each other a hard time, but no pranks.

Any time you put a cast like this in compromising circumstances or shake it up a little bit, I think we`re all pretty close so we draw on real emotion.

I have a Lab, it`s fun to hang out and hike with the dog, people come up to him, and pet him, it`s fun.

No, there are some location shoots in Vegas, maybe four trips a year. It`s shot in Santa Clarita, CA.

I think people would be suprised at how much we curse when we screw up. I`m like somebody with Tourette`s Syndrome.

I`ve been trying to pick up painting but it`s hard.

Oh every day I fight for the integrity of the character and where I want it to go. Sometimes I think the writers are better at writing story than dialogue, or maybe I just understand the character better than they do. But they do allow us to collaborate. I just go to see Nick`s apartment after 43 episodes, and I had to tell them to get rid of some stuff.

I think I`ll give it up, the fantasy is over, I wanted to play Spiderman, Peter Parker.

I think I`m a fan of people who were brave, my aunt, my grandmother, those are my heroes.

I love what I do and I love the fans.

I work so hard for the fans who watch our show.

Most of my stuff before CSI was kind of the jerk boyfriend, so I thought this was one of those deals, where these two have a thing going on, so we had a scene where they make out.

Another challenge? Getting up at 6:30 in the morning to go act. It`s not fun acting that early in the morning or acting at 4 A.M in the middle of the night or in the morning when you`re really tired. That`s a challenge. What a luxurious problem to have.

I`ve seen a dead body, I`ve seen some pretty gruesome fist fights, I`ve been a hunter since I was a child, though I don`t anymore, I`ve gutted wild game.

Hm, I think I always had respect for the profession, my dad was a district attorney back home for over 20 years, so I had that going in.

It looks easy, like surfing, but surfing is hard too.

I`m just trying to let everything lie and grow right now, I`m not going to pressure myself to do anything that it`s right for the time.

I think what`s always been interesting to me than the science and the criminality with this job is what happens to your persona, your disposition, after day in and day out dealing with life and death.

There are a lot of times that if a detail in a scene or a beat, feels unnatural, they`ll allow me to explore another direction to go until we`re all comfortable with what we are doing.

Many forms, sizes and colors, I think there are heroes in sports, in life...It would be cliché to say my dad, my granddad. I think I`m a fan of people who were brave, my aunt, my grandmother, those are my heroes.

On his character Paramedic Greg Powell from ER: I got a lot of recognition from that role. I mean, like, I`d be in a Burger King getting a burger and the girl at the window goes, `Hey, you`re the guy who kissed Julianna Margulies on ER`.

To be honest with you, I get a little fed up with actors who act crazy to make themselves more interesting.

The show has boundaries right now we`re trying to widen them not break them.

One lady wrote me and told me how she wants to see me get beat up and near death and that kind of stuff.

I think my character`s getting to the point where he can`t even eat spaghetti with red sauce anymore, where he has horrible nightmares, he can`t sleep anymore.

I`m interested to go other places, I`ve been the boy in the bubble since we`ve been shooting, I need to go travel a little bit, see where the action is, other than going to see family, of course.
