Simply surviving in this business is a feat.
The only power an actor has is the ability to say: 'No
Hollywood will put you in a box, so to speak. Some people will have seen you in 'La Bamba' or another dramatic film and think, 'Okay, that's what Lou does.' But they don't really have an idea of the range or diversity that I can bring to a project.
Sometimes I only hope to make a good popcorn movie.
It's easier to stay in shape than to fluctuate.
I'm an actor first and foremost; it's my first love and passion.
