I shot this wonderful picture called American Saint a couple of years ago, which is still looking for release.

My grandfather was a chef for a Baron in Sicily before he came to America. I grew up with him. I used to do my homework at one end of the kitchen table while he cooked at the other end.

To be a Bond villain, you only get to do that once in your life. You never get to come back.

The eye condition that I have is Marfan's Syndrome.

I had a wonderful time playing Dr. Kaufman in Tomorrow Never Dies. It was a real Bond villain, over the top, almost laughable but dangerous.

You grow up in a Sicilian household, becoming an actor is not a big leap.
