Growing up sports was my outlet my way to portray a personality. I was very shy around people but through sports something I was good at I was able to make friends.

Part of my growing up was always trying to make my parents proud and always trying to keep them happy. I think part of what held them together was my involvement in sports.

One of the reasons I'm an actor is because I was no physical specimen as a child. I wasn't athletic and didn't have any prowess in that regard. Growing up in Kentucky most little boys were trying to get into sports and it was very competitive so that was not to be. But I did want to do something.

I'm an English boy. I played a lot of sports growing up but I never had any kind of workout regimen.

I remember when I was growing up I always wore glasses and so if I was on-stage or just being able to move around playing sports I was never really able to because I had glasses holding me back. Wearing contacts has just been very helpful.

I played a ton of team sports growing up and team wins are just incredibly gratifying.

I never really did sports growing up. Maybe that's why they intrigue me. The technology that goes into that clothing is steps ahead so it's always been something I look towards.

But I was so wrapped up in sports growing up as a kid that I think I was going to grow to be a pro ball player. But I found out real quick that was not going to happen.

The last few years I became a lot more into sports. Growing up the sports I liked were independent sports like skateboarding. I was really into skateboarding and not necessarily team televised sports.

Soccer and cricket were my main sports growing up. I had trials as a soccer player with a few clubs interested Crystal Palace being one but it was cricket which became my chosen profession.
