-==Quotes==
-"Well my family is really supportive of it all and is glad to see me on TV or on the big screen which is great. As far as school, well it affected that greatly since I quit going to school to take the biggest risk of my life and pursue acting. I worked my butt off in high school and received a lot of scholarships for college and to throw all that away for acting was tough for my family, but it was just something I felt my heart pulling me towards and don't regret a single minute of it. I love to act!"
-About the ''Twilight'' cast, he says, "This cast rocks! We get along so well together it's like a real family which is great to see."
-"I love life way too much and find fun in almost anything. I'm a chameleon."
