- He sang in a choir from the age of 10 and joined a theater group after high school.
- Growing up he was a shy kid.
- His big break came when he got cast in an adaptation of the musical "Spring Awakening" at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
- I'm very much an easy person, and I love to work with people who have bold eccentric vision. As a performer, I love to facilitate that in whatever way.
- [talking about Red, White and Royal Blue] I can't say that I've always been a Prince Charming... but this new brand of Prince Charming? Yes.
- My goal is to continue working with passionate, driven, artists who are willing to think out of the box, and to keep challenging myself as an artist and a creative.
- I was always a pretty shy kid. At that point in my life, [being in a play] felt like a big step that I needed to take, but I wasn't expecting anything to come of it: he said. There, this idea was presented to me of potentially becoming an actor, which was kind of crazy. I left school unsure of what I wanted to do in life. It was kind of by fate that it came at this perfect moment, and I haven't really looked back since. I don't think anyone who I went to school with would have necessarily have been like, 'Oh, he's going to be an actor one day.' I am just as surprised as anyone else.
- I've always aspired to be the quintessential gentleman.
