I want every episode to feel like we still haven't done this right yet.
And I have been able to establish this sort of decent reputation as being a decent character actor.
The only thing I do worry about is that the more films I do the more visible I am going to become as a personality because of press and because of the sheer quantity of films.
I'll be working the rest of my life because I'm a character actor and don't have to worry about box office.
I found my niche as a character actor, and I've never felt like a movie star or teen idol and never wanted to.
I took a route of acting, rather than starmaking, so it cost me a lot financially.
Evil changes everybody!
But the one thing that I did do was establish myself as a good actor.
When I was younger, it was about doing something that made me nervous. Now, it's for many different reasons. I've had the opportunity to have fun. I don't know why that is, but I like it.
No, I knew when I was doing theater in New York that this was what I was supposed to be doing.
At our best, it's a good experience but we do 22 episodes a year, so there are some clunkers.
The Whole Wide World is the first movie I've ever produced.
The key is always to speak in your own voice. Speak the truth. That's Acting 101.
What kind of recognition do I deserve? I don't deserve any recognition.
The most fun you can possibly have as an actor is to walk that line between what's real and what's interesting.
Our show is different, because it's not about law and order, it's about psychology, the intent of somebody.
When you are a character actor they trust you will go in and give them a full character and leave.
So a failed movie is not going to ruin my career.
My 22-year-old [son] can see everything I've done, but my 15-year-old hasn't been able to see anything, at all. But yeah, I hope I'm a super cool dad.
I've never played a master thief. And I think I am one.
