It's a film called 'Bobby,' ... It's about the day that Robert Kennedy was shot at the Ambassador Hotel, and it takes place at the Ambassador. It's essentially about a cross-section of various people from all walks of life, at that hotel on that day, all leading up to his speech and him being assassinated.
It was a wonderful project to work on, and a very different character for me.
In some ways that's more gratifying, it requires more of your own energy and your own input, and everyone's kind of collective energy, and that's...in a way that's more gratifying.
I really have the greatest time at these events because I am a fan first, I am a gamer, I am a film fan and a horror buff, so I am here as a fan as well as a kind of featured guest.
In the absense of love, there is nothing worth fighting for.
He's kind of this empty vessel of a character, ... His awkward sensibilities, his neuroses, I loved those things. . . .
I had a woman breakdown and cry when she met me which was difficult to deal with because immediately when someone starts to cry, you want to comfort them, you know, "Poor thing." I comforted her. I tried to make her feel better.
Those eyes!' ... I've heard that my whole life. I'm actually quite blind. I wear contacts.
The predominant difference between television and film is the pace to which you work, but the development of the character or the process for playing the character isn't necessarily different.
I think horror comedies tend to skew more comedy than horror, for the most part.
The war is definitely in the background, only referred to in radio news blips and conversation. I think, ultimately, this film is about the choices these guys are faced with. In that way, I think this is a more personal story about their friendship, about the reaction that they have when they're essentially faced with death, to a certain degree.
It's always nice when you get a chance to actually work with the other actor. It just brings the scene to life, in a way that's not as easy to replicate on your own.
You don't often get a chance to record with the other actors who are playing the characters, mainly due to the fact that you don't have to, the actors' schedules are all over the place, and it's difficult to get everyone in the same room.
When you have an animal in your home, a relationship forms very quickly, where that animal ceases to be an animal to you. It feels like a member of your family.
