It's what actors call a big, juicy part, when you're a leading man. I don't get a lot of those. I get a lot of supporting things.

You do something on television, and so many people see it that it follows you around. It's interesting. I've done a couple of things on TV, and probably more people saw me than in all the movies I've made.

In rehearsal you have a good accident that you can repeat.In the movies if you have a good accident you hope the camera's running.

By the time I was 7, I did walk-ons, catalogue modeling, you name it. In the Queens where I grew up, you didn't go bowling on Saturday; you went to dancing school.

Also for me it was different because I play a lot of villains and in this one I play a dad and I play a good guy, basically. He's the Secretary of the Treasury. I never had a job like that.

Is typecasting really a problem?

My hair was famous before I was.
