Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Birthday: April 8, 1984.

Birthplace: San Francisco.

Occupation: Actor and student. I’m a sophomore in high school.

Current home: Los Angeles. The family used to commute, but we moved two years ago.

Future car: It changes, but right now, I’m looking into a 1996 Chevy Impala. Tim Allen has one and I’m hoping he’ll sell it to me.

Working on: I play Mark on “Home Improvement” and I did a short called “The Party” for the Sundance Film Festival, and my movie, “Little Big Foot II,” is out on video.

Favorite pigout food: Anything Asian.

Favorite performer: Robin Williams. I love his early, top-of-his-head work.

Prized possession: My bass guitar.

Personal heroes: Directors, like Steven Spielberg — or Billy Bob Thornton, because he’s an actor and a director and that’s what I’d like to do.

Nobody knows I’m: Six feet tall. Everyone thinks I’m just the little kid they see in reruns.

I’d give anything to meet: Billy Bob Thornton. I’ve heard strange things about him and I’d like to see for myself. I almost had the opportunity, because they were filming “Armageddon” right next to where we film “Home Improvement.”

My fantasy is: I own my own private island.

The one thing I can’t stand: Any sort of inequality. Anything unfair drives me nuts.

If I could change one thing about myself: I don’t like my face.

People who know me in high school think I’m: The kid who only shows up one week out of a month. I’m working too much to come more often. I’m also known as someone you can talk to when you’re having problems.

If I’ve learned one thing in life it’s: Don’t take everything at face value. In this business, most things are not what they seem. It has helped me a lot to realize that.

The three words that best describe me: Caring, unique and lucky.
