Quote:
The great irony in this is people asking me how it feels to play a gay character. But the weird thing is this is the closest character to me I've ever played. Aside from Will's sexuality, his sense of humor is my sense of humor.

He became a US citizen, and now holds dual citizenship with the US and Canada.

A graduate for Ryerson University's School of Theatre (Toronto)

He has a son, Finnigan Holden, who was born 1 July 2002 in Los Angeles.
