Grew up in West Monroe, Louisiana. Relocated to Los Angeles to train
with Arthur Mendoza at the Actor's Circle Theater. Learning his craft
from classic as well as contemporary plays. At this time he found
himself sleeping in his car off and on to afford his training. He
describes that period as well worth it. After 3 years he moved back to
his home state learning of the film industry that had begun there since
his departure to California. After some time he got his first break
when David Fincher cast him in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
