He was living in Chico, California with $200 in his checking, doing concrete work when he heard about the casting session for In the Valley of Elah.
Since then the athletic six-foot-one actor, has played a valet-turned-killer on CSI: Miami; an Iraqi war vet shot by a civilian contractor on Leverage; a rookie cop on Criminal Minds; a drinking-contest participant alongside Hayden Panettiere on Heroes; and a military academy drill instructor breaking down new cadets on the two-part 2009 season finale of Cold Case.
