Well, I was a drama kid.

As a matter of fact, I am an uncle. I have nine nephews and nieces. I'm not sure if they think I'm all that quick with a quip. But I'm quick with a spank.

I never had a month or so go by where I haven't had a job, but you always worry that someone will turn off the tap.

For an actor, playing one character and transitioning to a completely different one is a dream come true.

To survive in a lot of male-dominated situations - the police, the military, what have you - you put on a bit of the crass, blowhard thing, because you just can't survive being the nice guy in those environments.

The way I look at it, I'm a guy who acts to live.

My dad's era believed that there was something noble in being a good guy - the kind of guy that lived straight and narrow, told the truth, and stood up for what he believed was right.
