Film acting is really the trick of doing moments. You rarely do a take that lasts more than 20 seconds. You really earn your spurs acting onstage. I needed to do that for myself. I would hate to say at the end of everything that I never did a stage play. ↗

I don't think of myself as offbeat and weird. As a kid, I saw myself as the type of guy who would run into a burning building to save the baby. ↗

I find myself gravitating towards drama. It interests me. In the books I read, the paintings I like, it's always the darker stuff. ↗

I would love to find myself in a position where I have to decide, 'Gosh, do I want to be on a series?' ↗
