My best advice about working in Hollywood is: Save your money!

Of course, people told me, 'Mikey, you will never be an actor. You don't have the look. You're ugly.'

Whatever God gave you, you have to work that to your best ability - especially out here in Hollywood, the land of beautiful people.

Don't depend on acting as your sole source of income. Work nights, so you can have your days off to attend auditions. Have something to fall back on. That's what my mother taught me, and it's critical in Hollywood.

I try to avoid typecasting by doing different roles.

So it was a thing that my mother always taught me to go for your goals and never give up no matter what they are, and I started believing that later on in life.

I'm used to being the big tough guy, the bodyguard type.
