I'm a professional hanger outer. I'm a super liability, too. I joke around and I'm like a hyper-active child.
One thing that's interesting is that whenever something starts, like the school year when you were a kid, it feels like such a significantly huge time in your life and how much life has changed. What's surprising is how quickly it's going by.
This sounds so bogus, but I would love to, at some point when my kids are in college, is just go do a whole season at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and do a year of plays. Most actors miss the days of live theater.
I like that kind of stuff. I like doing speeches. I've been lucky because I've had a lot of characters, over the years, who will have three or four page speeches.
You can judge a country by the way it treats its prisoners, and you can always judge a show by the way it treats people coming on to do these guest shots.
It's so nerve-wracking to go out into a stadium, feeling a billion eyes upon you when you mess up your touches. That's an overwhelming environment.
I've played some good villains, in the last few years. I'm good where I'm at. But it is fun playing villains, for sure.
I'm a huge fan of Michael Hirst, and I'm a huge fan of historical drama.
I have 52 first cousins. My mom and dad were the only two to move to North America, so I've got deep family there, but I'm a California kid.
The easiest and most accessible emotion is rage.
Fair or not, it always sucks when everyone wanders back from Sundance talking about how bad the movies were.
We own our movie and are now close to breaking even, even without finishing domestic DVD deals.
I think in a weird way that the entertainment industry is strangely more brutally honest than any other.
I honestly feel like we never had a bad episode by TV standards. Every week I felt there were so many strong components of the show, especially the writing.
