Biografia

As of July 2011, had not had an alcoholic drink in about 10 years.

Got into acting when, at age 10, he followed a friend to an audition for a role in an educational film and the director asked him to read for the lead.

He's cycling enthusiast and an avid runner that averages five miles a day. "It's my meditation time," he says. "I clear my mind and think about the day." He leaves the iPod at home, preferring his own thoughts for company.

Good friends with Jennifer Aniston since 1995. They have worked together in five movies: Ti odio, ti lascio, ti... (2006), Due cuori e una provetta (2010), Come ammazzare il capo... e vivere felici (2011), Come ammazzare il capo 2 (2014) and La festa prima delle feste (2016).

Became the DGA's youngest-ever director when he directed three episodes of La famiglia Hogan (1986) at the age of 18 years.

By definition, gay is smart. I see plenty of macho heterosexual idiots, but nine times out of 10 you can have a great conversation if you find a gay guy.

I have a tendency to evolve into William Shatner, with my big fat face.

I've been offered a couple of leads in some movies that really suck. I mean, you know, if they're offering me the lead, the script ain't that great. The stuff that's good, I'm a little further down the cast list.

This is a tough town to live in if you're not relevant. I'm not making my decisions based on the fear of that. But there's a reason people have a long career. And it's because they're doing respectful work. I really want to be in that group.

I would rather do three or four small parts every year as opposed to some of the lower-hanging fruit that might get my name above the title. If you take that big paycheck for that, it's going to be real high-profile, you're going to be famous for a couple of weeks, and then your career is over and you've got to make sure you don't spend all your money before you die.
