“And its up to the audience to interpret rather than you putting moral stamp on the character.”

But somehow I’ve gotta find a way to play this.

My two kids take a lot of my focus, which I’m grateful for.

An actor always wants to sink his teeth into something.

I’ve never bought a boxed set DVD or anything like that.

As an actor, often you’re stuck with these scenes in which a great period of time is in between them – for example, if you do a biopic, it might be a year, it might be a decade, you never know.
