Love baseball. My dad played professionally before I was born. It’s about a guy who realises his dreams of playing in the major leagues, and at the same time, he falls in love. It’s about trying to reconcile the two."The star continued: "It’s the first thing I’ve written, and actually handed in, and gotten comments on – just ironing out some kinks right now, and it’s going to out to producers in the next few weeks.""I’ve also got another idea for a film, and I’m in the outline stages of that right now. It’s a way of creating your own destiny. You can hang around and wait for the right script to come along, or you can go ahead and get onto it yourself. As long as you believe one hundred percent in the scenario, I believe it’s worth doing," he added.
