"    Photo: Getty Images   In the company of blackmailers, con artists, and people all-too-ready to fake their own deaths, Nick Wechsler&amp;#039;s character Jack Porter on ABC&amp;#039;s mega hit Revenge is a weekly respite from the spiteful storm. However, the seasoned TV actor (you may remember him as Kyle Valenti on the CW&amp;#039;s cult favorite, Roswell) insists he&amp;#039;s less charming\u2014and a whole lot dirtier\u2014than his Hamptons alter ego. The Albuquerque native talked to ELLE.com about schoolyard fights, his Ladybugs moment, and being &amp;quot;a lot funnier&amp;quot; than the character he so convincingly portrays.  Age: 34 Provenance: Los Angeles Relationship Status: Single   On Jack&amp;#039;s recent engagement: &amp;quot;It can&amp;#039;t work out well with Amanda. He&amp;#039;s so responsible and so good\u2014too good for his own good. He&amp;#039;s trying to fall for her again, because she&amp;#039;s the mother of his child and it&amp;#039;s been proven. So he can&amp;#039;t back out now, and he can&amp;#039;t be absent. He can&amp;#039;t do that to the child.&amp;quot; On guest starring on It&amp;#039;s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s just something dirtier about this show. There&amp;#039;s something authentic. I watched them do their brilliant thing, and I was like, &amp;#039;I want to be able to do that!&amp;#039; Being funny has always mattered a lot to me. It&amp;#039;s why I started acting\u2014to make my friends laugh. I&amp;#039;m a lot funnier than Jack.&amp;quot; On defending a girlfriend&amp;#039;s honor: &amp;quot;It was middle school, and middle school fights are so weird. They&amp;#039;re very orderly. Somebody called her a name, so we all walked out together, everyone circled around us, and we started fighting. I ended the fight by pinning him, because I used to be a wrestler.&amp;quot; On Revenge&amp;#039;s complex plot lines: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s complicated to the point where I can&amp;#039;t remember stuff. It&amp;#039;s actually very hard! The time between when we get the script and when we shoot the episode is so short that I barely have time to get my stories straight. Some of the stuff with the Graysons and The Initiative is headier than the stuff that involves Jack, but I think it&amp;#039;s great that there&amp;#039;s so many different things going on.&amp;quot; On his dodgeball obsession: &amp;quot;I played on an all-girls team. They asked me to be the only guy but they wanted me to dress up as a woman. So I did\u2014I wore a schoolgirl outfit and a wig.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
