I will say nothing to an actor that cannot be translated into action.
I may be getting old, but not foolish.
I was not what you'd call a first-class actor, but I did all right.
I'm small, but I'm neither compliant nor agreeable.
I used to spend most of my time straining to be a nice guy so people would like me.
I like directors who come on the set and create something that's a little dangerous, difficult or unusual.
