I think everything keeps changing. There was a time when television was a bad thing for actors and it meant that you could only do television, and now we see everyone does television.

Dark Blue is ultimately a gritty crime drama, at its core. I don't think that is ever going to change.

I mean, I always think when you're an actor you have to be the guy running into the burning building rather than running out of it, if you want to make some noise as an actor.

I really am a character actor, in my heart of hearts, because I really do like developing characters and painting a past for them.

You never want to have a movie be derivative, because that's the worst if you ask me. I always want to be in original material, or an original idea, or an original vision, rather than a rehash of some other movie.
