evan lysacek pondering future career in acting
BUT FIRST, A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE. VLADIMIR PLUSHENKO:

Evan Lysacek is torn.
Should the 2010 Olympic figure skating champion get back to training and prepare for 2014 Games, or should he give up the sport to try something new, like acting?
"I'm a road map type of guy. I like to have a goal and try to reach it," said Lysacek, who was raised in Illinois and now lives in Los Angeles. "But right now, I'm not sure. I need to analyze the next four years of my life. I have had to sacrifice a lot, including friends and relationships, to become a top-level athlete."
It's totally understandable when you're talking about a demanding sport like figure skating for Lysacek, who began training at the age of 8. But since the spring, Lysacek has appeared on "Dancing with the Stars," "Stars on Ice" and commercials for the ESPYS. He's looking to do more acting.
"I'm really, really happy right now. I spent years turning down everything for the sake of training, and I think now is the time to take advantage of it," said Lysacek, who is up for an ESPY Wednesday night. "Don't get me wrong. I love to work and I love to be busy. But I'm not sure I'm going to be that hungry to give all this up for another four years."

NOT THAT WE DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW THAT EVAN WANTS TO GO INTO ACTING, BUT WOW. YOU'D THINK AN OSCAR IN CANADA WOULD BE ENOUGH FOR HIM, DAWG.
EDIT: I JUST REALIZED, EVAN'S BEEN PREPARING HIS OSCAR WIN FACE FOR YEARS.
IT'S GREAT. OBVIOUSLY.
AND I FORGOT. HE'S ALREADY MODELING. SO HE'S HALFWAY THERE ALREADY.
TYFYT. EVAN HOPES THAT YOU
