I was spending three days literally just kibitzing with Jack Nicholson at a table! It was heaven! And talk about a normal guy. My God, he was just so real and cool and relaxed and fun. And he was a great performer. He's such an actor. He really was so focused on every moment. It was great.

If it's a good role, I'm happy to play it.

Being able to play a role where you're there almost every day and you're just in it... I remember it was a whirlwind, but it was a lot of fun.

When you're not gaping at Megan Fox enough to listen to what the director's saying, you can get some work done.

I was a greasy short-order cook. I just liked being greasy! That was a real departure for me.

Path To War was the last thing that John Frankenheimer directed, I think, before he died. I'm a huge U.S. history buff, and I studied the Vietnam era in college, so when I read the script, I was, like, "I really want to be in this thing so badly..."

Sports and politics are basically all I really care about or talk about.
