As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.
I like to think that even with some of the more intense ones sometimes there is humour in there, you try to make a complete human being, whether the guy is good or bad.
I never, ever wanted to be an actor.
So I decided to form a production company with my wife and our partner Diane.
There's a personal side to me of challenges as an actor that I like to take on myself.
The Rat Pack was the piece that really kicked me out of that little funk that I was in and then Ted called me up and asked me if I wanted to be the dad in Blow.
