I was often getting hired to play sociopaths and psychopaths and stuff, which is really funny.

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.

Now I write often. I decided that I need to write for myself - I can't really direct other people's material.

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

Basically, if I ever went and worked on a crime drama or something, it was usually just for the work.

I look pretty different. Luckily for me, I don't get harassed or anything like that.

I actually was doing ghostwriting jobs since I was 17 years old, so I've been supporting myself off and on with writing jobs for almost 10 years. But those were all things that I did off the books. And now I do a lot more writing on the books.
