Now, I read that you were a tennis star. Is that true?
Yes. I played tennis throughout my life. In high school, I won the Tennessee state championship and went on to play in college at the College of Charleston in South Carolina. Tennis taught me so many life lessons. I'm six and a half years removed from playing competitive tennis, but there are still those life lessons I take with me every day.

What do you like to do when you're not working?
I play quite a bit of basketball. I play in a basketball league called the NBA Entertainment League. I just got back from a trip to Norway with a group called the Hollywood Knights. It's a charity basketball group, and we went over to Bergen, Norway to play for two charities in Norway -- one was for the monuments in Norway and the other was for the Cancer Society in Bergen. It was a really special trip and a climactic moment in my life. One of the nice things that comes from being on the show is I get asked often times to be part of a charity.

What are your favorite shows?
I'm really missing 'Six Feet Under.' I like 'Lost,' 'South Park' and 'The Office.' I'm really looking forward to the next season of 'Rescue Me.'

Rescue Me
AOL Television is showing an exclusive digital short from 'Rescue Me.'
I thought the last season of that show was phenomenal. This is going to be a big year for it.



What summer movies are you looking forward to watching?
I'm a comic book fan, so 'X-Men,' 'Superman,' 'Spider-Man,' and I know 'Iron Man' is in development. I keep track of all the superhero movies, so immediately I'm looking forward to 'X-Men' and 'Superman Returns.'

Kate Bosworth
Is that the only reason you want to see 'Superman Returns'? [Czuchry used to date actress Kate Bosworth.]
[Laughs.] Interesting question. I'm interested in seeing 'Superman' for a variety of reasons.
