You draw on your own childhood every time you tee it up as an actor.

Working at a job that you hate. Having a career and a life that you have no passion for. That's hell.

Each character represents a different color on the big palette of what this ultimate painting is going to look like, who your guy is, and just try to be as honest and simple and real as you can possibly be. The outer trappings are incidental - costumes, period, makeup - all of that is rather insignificant at the end of the day.

I've certainly been very blessed with opportunity.

Almost all of your life is lived by the seat of your pants, one unexpected event crashing into another, with no pattern or reason, and then you finally reach a point, around my age, where you spend more time than ever looking back. Why did this happen? Look where that led? You see the shape of things.

I love to continue to challenge myself and put myself in situations that are slightly uncomfortable.

Fearless people are interesting to watch.
