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.

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

I met Milos in 1967. I was working on a student film. And there is Milos Forman. So that's how I met Milos.

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

I get to meet a lot of people, and I really like people.

I directed a piece of theater in Italy. We took nine fables from the town and we created a play.
