In order to be a good actor, I'm a firm believer that you need to bring something to the table.

I spend a lot of time with my characters.

You'd be surprised how many kids and young people come to the website and send me email that they are actually going into the Marine Corps because of something that I said or did.

Kubrick ate it up. He loved it. He just let me go crazy.

I've never had to spend any time in the VA hospital, so I really can't speak for those guys.

Every character I've ever played, I always try to take him right to the edge and not allow him to fall over, but directors have a tendency to pull me back a little bit.

Without discipline, there is no Marine Corp.
