Check out four fun facts about Matt McGorry before the SAG Awards red carpet kicks off at 6 p.m. EST:

1. Familiar Gigs

If you watch TV you’ve definitely spotted McGorry. The actor is currently pulling double duty, starring on Netflix’s “Orange Is the New Black” as prison guard John Bennett, and playing law student Asher Millstone on ABC’s “How to Get Away With Murder.” Upcoming projects of his include “Ratter,” “How He Fell in Love” and “Public Morals.”

2. Great Dance Moves

Matt McGorry’s audition tape for “Magic Mike 2” was “leaked” during the summer. Although the role didn’t require him to strip, the actor made sure to show everyone what he’s working with.

3. Pre-Acting

Believe it or not, McGorry was a competitive body builder before starring on “Orange Is the New Black.” According to Entertainment Weekly, the actor was able to deadlift 576 pounds at his “peak.”

4. “Doucheface”

When McGorry auditioned for “How to Get Away With Murder” his character was written as “Doucheface,” not Asher.

“It’s weird when everyone is insisting that you’d be a great ‘Doucheface,’” he told Elle Magazine. “It was a side of me that I haven’t really gotten to show yet and that people haven’t seen on ‘Orange Is the New Black.’ And I got an offer after the first audition and I was the first person cast.”
