I have always chosen roles that I believed in - not ones that I thought might further my career. ↗

It's upsetting that it is such a big deal. I wish it weren't an issue all the time. It's funny that people say it's a departure, because I've been acting since I was a child. I've played three gay roles out of hundreds. ↗

I never get the tall, blonde, glamorous roles because I'm not tall, blonde and glamorous. I'm more the wee, disturbing characters because of the way I look or sound. ↗

I read the script, and I knew it was a good part. It was written for a white actor. That's what I'm up against - I have to try to make roles happen for me that aren't written black. ↗

No, most of the decisions that I make with regard to taking roles, I just look for something that's challenging, something that I think I can accomplish, you know. ↗

There weren't a lot of action roles growing up - there were a few, maybe, like Wonder Woman, but then it wasn't real action. ↗

I definitely would like to do some more dramatic roles. ↗

I was warned not to do it. Actors who play Jesus are supposed to have a hard time getting other roles to follow, but I felt this was a myth. After all, how can you be typecast as Christ? ↗

I think it is important for people who are given leadership roles to assume that role immediately. ↗

I've played some gangster roles, but that's obviously not me. When you're an Italian-American New York actor, it's just an easy way to get cast. ↗
