Pretty much any time in my career where I worked on television it was usually because of some financial woes or something.

I was watching Orson Welles and Jean Vigo films at a ridiculously young age.

Movies that I remember working on, or things that I remember working on, are things that took years of struggle and strife to get them off the ground or get them in front of the public. You don't have that kind of strife or whatever with a television show. It has an automatic platform. You go in, you do your job, and then it goes on air, and that's that.

I guess I just would never be so arrogant as to think that anybody would even recognize me. I didn't even think about it.

I feel that as a writer and as a performer too. I never really thought about backstory for characters. It was much more of a musical approach: You learn a melody, and then you sing it, I suppose, or you find a rhythm or a cadence that works for the material. And then it's sort of about hitting that note correctly and finding those beats.

It's so enjoyable to play a bad guy, you know.

Im really bad at tests of any kind, so Im bad at auditions. I consider myself educated most of the time, but when Im under the gun, I just fail.
