The kind of actors I admire move through different characters and genres.

It's a thrilling world, and people really like stories about secrets, which is the essence of a spy drama.

It sounds maybe a little old fashioned, but the parts I want to play and I do play, you don't want to inject too much of your own personality. What you sacrifice then is a slight mystery.

But there's a difference between privacy and secrecy, and I'm not a secretive person.

I've played all these extreme guys, but playing an everyman type has its own challenges.

I don't like it when people ask actors to work for free - on the fringe - as if it's some kind of virtue. That annoys me - actors should be paid well.

I find any sort of acting that doesn't have any humor in it is mind-numbingly boring. 'Serious acting' is the kind of acting that I don't ever respond to.
