I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church, where my father was a minister at music, so I sang in the church all the time.

People will go into an audition and a casting situation, and they'll see someone across the room that's perhaps slightly famous, or famous, and they think, 'Oh God, I'm not gonna get the part.

I grew up in Middle America and I don't think my family was very funny, but I watched 'The Princess Bride.' I always wanted to be an actor. I didn't know anything about it. I'd never seen any plays or anything and I watched that movie over and over and over again.

I'm really tall - almost six feet - and my features tend to be extreme, especially on TV.

My family is not at all involved in television, or film, or theatre, or any of it, really.

I really love being a character actor. I have to say I wish it were a little easier. There are still a lot of things that I don't get, like I do wish I had more of my own.
