I play characters. I don't think I really have a persona per se. I don't play the same guy every time. I show up, you don't know what I'm gonna do. I like it that way. I've intentionally tried to do it that way. I think that's what's interesting.

People think that I'm haughty and stuck up, but really I'm just very shy.

I wouldn't say that going into a weekly television series is actually stepping away from anything. It's another medium in which to work as an actor.

I think of myself as being a relatively intelligent man who is open to a lot of different things and I think that questioning our purpose in life and the meaning of existence is something that we all go through at some point.

It's funny, a lot of people think I take myself seriously because I come off so serious sometimes. But it's not that I take myself seriously, I take what I do seriously.

Mine were informal mentors. They were all in my working life.

I have a voice. It's one of my gifts. I intend to use it on behalf of the children that UNICEF seeks to aid.
