asked certainly imagined
If you'd asked me after 'Band of Brothers' what thing I wanted to do next, I certainly never would have imagined 'Southland.'
music people supposed telling
I want to remind people that there is no soundtrack in 'Southland;' there is no scored music or soundtrack telling you what you're supposed to feel.
good
I don't know if I would be a good cop. As gruff as I come off, I take things very emotionally.
I can't play video games because I get too nervous. It just stresses me out.
exciting games motion stuff work
Games are another place to find work, not only the voice stuff but in the motion capture stuff. It's exciting work.
home stressful watch
Comedy is important! When you're having a stressful day, and you come home, you want to watch something that makes you laugh.
The lifespan of any show is to end in cancellation.
choose family job kids next people provide ready trying
I think a lot of high-profile artists like to make people think that. 'Oh, I'm trying to choose my next project.' This is a job. Sometimes your next job is so you can provide for your family; your kids are 16 and getting ready to go to college.
good great time voice work
I just had a really good time when I did my voice work for 'Call of Duty.' I've had nothing but great interaction with Activision.
chance follow knows listen magic nobody sell
Don't listen to anybody. Nobody knows the magic bullet. If they did, they'd sell it and make a fortune. Follow your gut. Follow your instincts. Every once in a while, take a chance.
seem wrong
Certainly, I seem to need to do a play a year. I feel wrong if I haven't got one planned.
concerned state work
All actors say they're concerned about the state of the theatre, but what they're really concerned about is that there'll be less work around.
asked dancer died invited kenneth love
When I was doing 'Tales from Hollywood' at the National, I was invited to dinner by the choreographer, Kenneth MacMillan. He told me I had the heart of a dancer and asked me if I'd like to come on at the end of 'Romeo and Juliet' as a friar. I said I'd love to, but sadly, MacMillan died shortly after.
freedom magic quite subtext
There's no subtext in 'Harry Potter,' really; it's all magic - anything can happen. Why do I say this? Because it's a magic spell. It's quite nice in a way. There is a real freedom to it. Doesn't say much for acting, does it?
