OK!: Have you become more intuitive since exploring your character’s observational skills on The Mentalist?
I wish. In all truth, as a mentalist, I’m a decent actor, but as an actor, I’m not a very good mentalist.
OK!: What’s the best part of being a dad?
Just being involved in the experience. I love having a family. Watching them grow and develop, share ideas and thoughts, is amazing.
OK!: We hear you’re a fan of Gossip Girl.
I sit in bed and watch it with my daughter. She works hard on her school work, and that’s the one thing she’s allowed to watch on a weeknight. The storylines are so over the top — it’s a guilty pleasure.
OK!: Does it help your relationship with your daughter?
We don’t use Gossip Girl as a reference point for our relationship. It’s just hard candy.
OK!: Do you have a secret talent?
I’m pretty good at gardening. It consumes my time, and it feels like I’m doing something constructive.
OK!: Are you into male grooming?
No, I just clean my teeth! OK!: What do you miss most about Australia?
The physical beauty of the area where I grew up. And I miss my close friends. I miss trivial things too... like meat pie!
