For every role, I brought certain elements of the character. Even on White Collar over six years, I tried to keep the set fun and breezy and Howard Hawks-y and very of the tone of the show.

I think when you play a role, you always have to be a defense attorney for that character.

The best experience for me at CMU was being on stage so much, getting that comfort ability and learning that technique you can use with any type of work because you’re comfortable with it and know your skill as an actor.

Look, none of the artists who I admire or respect have ever shied away from a role because it might make them unpopular with somebody.

Anybody who is rude to anyone in the service industry is automatically out.

Theres always a need for new superheroes. As society changes, the types of superheroes will probably change as well.

When you are the avatar for the writer/director, a lot of times, I just trusted him. If he had a choice, even if it wasn't necessarily what was my first impulse, I was like, "Billy Ray has been living with this for two years before I even came on board, so I'm going with him."
