You have a great road map when you play somebody that exists. That's the amazing thing. But then you have great limitations from that road map. It's hard to deviate from it creatively as an actor. It's like, "Oh wait, he'd never do that."

Accents can be a great tool to tell a story - but if you do it wrong, it pulls you right out of the movie.

So I take a little sleeping pill, pop it and realize nothing's happening - but something else was happening.

I had to do a lot of work and allow myself to go places that were a little scary. You know when you play a guy like that it allows you the freedom to explore really weird parts about you. And it's OK. In order to really get it, I've got to allow myself to go there.

Don [ Handfield] was actually one of the first guys I met in town back in '94. He was an actor and a writer and all this stuff.

I like to play unpredictable characters, and I like to be unpredictable in what movie I'll do.

I'll always build houses.
