I wanted to do Buddy Faro as a small budget movie. They said no. So I wanted to do it as a series of recurring TV movies, and they said no. So I agreed to do it as a series.

I'm old enough to never say never. I never had a grand plan with what I was going to do. There are some movies that I would like to be involved with, but I'm trying to be a working actor.

I've tried writing. Two days later I'd go visit it and say, Jesus Christ, who wrote this crap?

You cant act for the editing. You just go in and do the scene the way you think is right.

This is my first experience working in a foreign movie, but the mechanics, I think, are pretty much the same all over; you still have to wait in the trailer.

There's a whole catalogue of actors that never went to acting school.

As far as carrying the American banner, you just do what's right for the kids.
