In 2003, Tate read the book The Teammates by David Halbertstam for its audio release.
(edit)
Tate's father, a urologist, died from bladder cancer. Since his death, Tate has been an active supporter and spokesperson of BCAN (Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network).
(edit)
Tate voiced Hercules in the video game Kingdom Hearts II. He took over Sean Astin who voiced Hercules in the original game.
(edit)
Tate once was romantically involved with Jennifer Aniston, and, coincidentally, her character Rachel Greene on the show Friends.
(edit)
Tate's wife, then his fiance, ran the last two miles of the New York Marathon with Tate. She was wearing a silk shirt and flats.
(edit)
Tate: I was really inspired by people who ran with blind runners. Man that's something I'd like to do. I feel like I did my marathon for myself, but I would like to maybe do that (run with a blind person) the next time around. Not worry about time and my performance and just do it for someone else.
(edit)
Tate: (about what motivates him to run)
Being able to have dessert basically. That and those moments of endorphin release when you can pretend that you're a Kenyan winning the 10,000 meter at the Olympics. (edit) Tate: My favorite part of running is finding a great little patch of nature to run through, a little bit of forest or the beach. Nothing's better than a forest run as far as I'm concerned. You just feel at once totally alive and ancient. Human beings have been doing this for four million years. It feels great. (edit) Tate: (About the music he listens to while running)
It's been funny since I've been training for the marathon I don't want to go fast, I just want to go long and slow. I've been listening to a lot of classical piano music oddly enough. I listen to Coldplay and Van Morrison. You know what I really love? I listen to a lot of African music. I just pretend I'm one of these great Kenyan runners and I'm just grooving to these great traditional African songs. (edit) Tate: A career in showbiz is like a distance run. You have to have patience and pace yourself. (edit)
