I just consider myself a piece of the puzzle and I'm lucky enough to be asked or invited to the party, if you will. I hope I can bring some laughs and grimaces to the fans.

I'm always looking, as an actor, for activities. I think it's far more interesting to watch what people do than what they say. You always want to watch behavior, because the dialogue as written by our illustrious leaders is great. Eminently playable.

I always did think that when I turned 40, I'd start coming into my own.

The guys I grew up with, my cinematic heroes, have always been men of few words, but of action. Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach.

My heroes are the camera crew and the electricians. They work such long hours.

I was involved with drama departments since the 5th grade. I played at it. It was an escape.

Acting had always been the social scene I'd fallen into. It was sort of a merry band of band geeks and theater nerds.
