40	!!This actor and his roles provide examples of:
41
42	* EleventhHourRanger: He was a last minute addition to the ''Series/PrisonBreak'' cast. Suffice to say, [[StarMakingRole it worked for him]].
43	* DeathGlare: WebSite/{{IMDb}} lists his intense glare as one of his trademarks, and it's true. He even does this in his Yoplait Yogurt commercial, while wearing a nice blue suit and speaking in his menacing voice.
44	* GentleGiant: Tall, rather intimidating looking, COVERED in tattoos but possibly one of the nicest people on the face of the earth. Don't let his appearance fool you.
45	* MrFanservice: His characters occasionally provide FemaleGaze, mostly through {{Shirtless Scene}}s.
