Early in my career, people wanted to pigeonhole me as the bad guy because I'm of Italian-American descent, which they often were when I started out. You have to fight against it. One of the things that helps is the ability to do comedy.

I don't like to move the camera that much anyway.

I wanted to be an actor when I was a kid.
