Charlie Cox Thought He Missed His Superhero Shot. Then Came ‘Daredevil.’
Social Media Blackout
I’ve never been on social media, and I feel quite smug about my choice. If you are someone in an industry where the idea of celebrity is part of the job, for mental and emotional health it’s much safer to not engage.
TSA PreCheck
I don’t have to take my shoes off. I don’t have to take my laptop out my bag. I can show up at the airport and not have to worry if the lines are going to be long. And the last time I came through Global Entry, I didn’t even have to take my passport out. Little things like that go a long way for me.
My Wife’s Book Recommendations
Sam inhales books, so there’ll be a book by her side of the bed and the following night there’s a different book. I’m a slow reader, so I will have a book on the go for a month, easily. Also, if I get 50 or 100 pages into a book and I’m not really loving it, I have no problem moving on. The great thing is she’ll recommend books and they’ll always be perfect for me.

I often ask myself how detrimental it is to my health, because I get so stressed out and become such a child. The one thing I’m grateful for about living in America is the games are earlier. So if we lose on Saturday at 9:30 a.m., I’ve still got the whole day to find a way to be a big boy about it.
My Beard
Whenever I’m not working, I grow my beard out. It makes me feel, if I’m walking around, a little bit more in disguise.
Snow Plowing
We have quite a significant driveway in Connecticut, and I’m trying to learn how to plow the driveway so that I can feel like I’m actually a real man. The first time I did it, a couple of months ago, it took me about two and a half hours to figure it out. And right as I was coming in the door the snowplow guy came down, plowing it. So I went outside and waved and said, “I’ve already done it.” And he looked at me and went, “Really?”
