As an actor I'm part of a long line of character people you can take back to the silent movies. There's always the little guy who's the sidekick to the tall, good-looking guy who gets the girl. People tend to not think of themselves as Tom Cruise or Bruce Willis. The leading man is something that they might like to be, but they aren't. The sidekick is somebody that they feel a little closer to, because the sidekick has the same human failings that they do.

I tend to not really care for re-makes in general. Mainly they are horrible.

I'm not an improv guy. I'm not a nerd, I play one on television.

I'm a character actor but unlike a lot of character actors, I don't look radically different from film to film and there was a bunch of them at once.

There's something about the way of playing a repellent character, that if you can play him with a certain amount of charm, you can get away with a lot.

I've never been offered a job that I turned down and regretted. I didn't have Stanley Kubrick offer me something and me say no.

To be honest, I haven't seen a lot of the current crop of teen movies because there's only so much time and there's nothing that really drives me to do it.
