I don't look like a leading man, whatever they look like. It's changing a little.

When I did 'Babe' I wanted to talk about animal rights without going through some convoluted justifications about using animal products.

I don't look like a leading man, whatever they look like. It's changing a little.

I'm a character actor. Nobody's ever seemed to think of me as a leading man. I'm 6'6''. I've got a big nose. I'm gangly. I've got crooked teeth. That's certainly not Brad Pitt. I'm still around and alive, so if they need older guys, I guess they're thinking of me.

A vital film that needed to be made at this point in history and has been made magnificently.

The risks of transporting deadly nuclear waste, the environmental justice impacts and the long-term health effects of both these projects are untenable...We cannot afford to be silent on these important issues.

I was so moved by the intelligence,sense of fun and personalities of the animals I worked with on Babe that by the end of the film I was a vegetarian.
