Actors like to play bad guys because they're more fun. They also win more awards.

When you're a stand-up, you play in front of 600 people, and it's all about timing. I could never do stand-up comedy; it would be way too hard for me.

Well, I was a drama kid.

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

You go into any doughnut shop and look at three cops having coffee, I guarantee I look like one of them.

I earned a black belt when I was in high school. And I did a lot of boxing and full contact karate in college.

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.
