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.

I'm always trying to pop up in different genres, what interests me. Sometimes I just like to throw myself into new situations to see what it feel like.

We shared the same vision.

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

My past is not pleasant; I grew up in a very tough town, Waterbury, Connecticut. I grew up in New York, too, but Waterbury was tougher.

I guess my style is a cross between David Bowie and Clint Eastwood.

I think the most important thing for an actor is to stay current and stay relevant, and those are probably the hardest things to do.
