Bought his mother a home from his first big paycheck.

He was born with a heart condition, and was baptized rather quickly for fear he would not live long.

In order to avoid the boyish and somewhat androgynous junkies and weak-willed characters he found himself typecast as, he underwent a fitness regime in 2004 and gained and maintained about 25 extra pounds of muscle, so he can also be considered for more masculine roles.

Is good friends with Cillian Murphy who is one of his favorite actors.

He changed his last name when he took up acting, taking his mother's maiden name of Meyers.
