- Mr. Fanservice: By nature of playing one of the hunkier characters in his generation of Skins, a niche he shared with Jack O'Connell.
- Plays Great Ethnics: He's of Sicilian descent, but ethnically ambiguous enough for many to assume he's something other than Italian. In Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome, for example, he plays the younger version of Edward James Olmos, who's part Mexican.
