One guy was turning around, and Captain America was leaning against a light pole with his finger to his lips going, &#8216;Shhh.&#8217; Everything about superheroes is just so bad-ass. My personal favorite is Iron Man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The actor gets his love for art from his family. &#8220;My mother and grandmother are and were both great painters, and I took art classes in junior high and high school,&#8221; Eads explained. &#8220;I used to think the best job in the whole world would be to work at Six Flags Over Texas doing caricatures of people. When I would see those dudes draw people, I thought that was the coolest thing. I would watch for hours.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although he never became a caricature artist, Eads did find a use for his artistic talents during one of his old jobs. &#8220;I was a junior high school teacher for a year in Waco, TX, and I&#8217;d work with special-ed kids,&#8221; he shared. &#8220;I&#8217;d draw pictures of superheroes and Xerox them, and the kids loved to color them. In fact, a few years ago I went to the Dominican Republic with a few other celebrities to visit an orphanage, and the kids loved it then too. Some of the celebrities were singing and playing instruments; I started drawing faces, and the kids were just swarming around me. It comes in handy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The original article is from <a class=\"link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.redbookmag.com\/fun-contests\/celebrity\/what-guys-love-2\">Redbook<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSI: Crime Scene Investigation&#8216;s George Eads (Nick Stokes) has been drawing superheroes since he was&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2906],"tags":[2910],"class_list":["post-7293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-csi-lv","tag-eads"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"Rachel","author_link":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/author\/rachel\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/categories\/csi-lv\/\" rel=\"category tag\">CSI<\/a>","tag_info":"CSI","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7293"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7293\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7343,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7293\/revisions\/7343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.csifiles.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
