I'm tanned from head to toe, and it looks like I've been in The Bahamas.
I get fan letters written in everything from crayons to lipstick.
I can't tell you the deluge of images that were sent to me through all the different social media platforms of families partying together... enjoying 'Sharknado.'
We barely had cell phones on '90210.' It started in the '90s. That's pretty much when fax machines came into play. When I first got the script for '90210' I had to come into New York to get it. It was not emailed to me; there was no email.
Past success is no guarantee of future success, so I have learned to be an entrepreneur. I began to produce and direct my own projects.
I have a lot of irons in the fire.
In this business, it's important: if you consider yourself a journeyman actor like I do, you need to stay topical. So I'm always looking for projects that are challenging, that put me in a light that's different from anything I've ever done before.
My career actually started in the second grade as class clown. That's no joke. I was always making people laugh, and it was really to mask a learning disability... When it came time for me to read out loud, I would crack jokes or create a diversion.
People spend hundreds of millions of dollars to make movies that don't do anything. I mean, no one's talking about 'Pacific Rim' today. No one's talking about 'The Lone Ranger,' and those were $100 million movies that didn't have nearly the impact that 'Sharknado' did.
My most famous commercial was for Fruit Of the Loom underwear. I took a lot of razzing from my classmates.
I'm a real lucky guy. I've got a fantastic woman; she's a fantastic mom and an ideal partner. She understands what I do, and she's OK with it, and I couldn't be more in love.
You have to be careful of social climbers. There are a lot of potholes out there.
We have so many foreign fans, I think we should take the movie to them. I thought, 'Wouldn't it be great, instead of demolishing a city, if we, through a 'Sharknado,' could rebuild it? Wouldn't it be fantastic if we went to Italy and a 'Sharknado' straightened the Tower of Pisa?'
More people than not have seen me on television in swim shorts, so I don't have any problem stripping down.
I'm a student of the movies. I'm a student of all media. This is what I do, and I like to immerse myself in what's current and what's topical. And I find that I'm drawn to those things.
With 'Sharknado,' they've got a great mix of TV and film. This is a film that has film impact in the TV medium.
As a father and a provider, no stone goes unturned.
