My brother met a friend of his
I know, it's a long chain; I know someone who knows someone who knows him. It's ridiculous, but whatever.
Anyway, this was back in 2010 when my brother attended National Youth Leadership Forum in Chicago. He met a girl who's friends with TJ and she said, at the time, that he was really struggling with his acting career and wasn't getting any acting roles. Glad to see that has changed since he's in a successful new HBO show and started in some Hollywood hits like Transformers 4 and How to Train Your Dragon. Really hope he makes it big time!
