That was a really interesting series [Threshold ] that I think would’ve been really great had it continued.

It was a fabulous experience shooting [in the Aviator], working with Leo [DiCaprio] and Danny Huston in the scene. It was great. I think what was most eye-opening about it was that [Martin] Scorsese was just like any good director you work with.

That’s what kids were like then. So I really like the movie [Dude, Where’s My Car? ], I think it’s genuinely funny, and I wish I hadn’t been so arrogant about it. And, of course, I didn’t know it was going to be my best work, either.

Earl Mills is probably the best role I’ve ever been given in a film. And it was a great experience to work with Halle [Berry] and Klaus Maria Brandauer, an Austrian actor who’s a hero of mine.

The Dain Curse [Tom Fink] was a great job. I was in New York, and I was young – I think I’m 28 years old in that – and I got to work with James Coburn and Jean Simmons and Jason Miller. Plus, it was a Dashiell Hammett story, and I had a great character. It was fantastic to shoot.

Comedy really is my bread and butter, even when I’m doing a serious character, with the exception of Outcast. I have found very little humor in this character.

As it turns out, sometimes that bites you. In this case, I saw pictures of Earl [Mills], and…I actually met him. He was quite old at the time, but he had this sort of curly red hair, so we did that in the film. I got a perm and had red hair, and… It was a mess.

I think there is something like 90% unemployment in the Screen Actors Guild, so we are the exception.
