ties doctors agents
I'm always an agent or a lawyer or a doctor or a banker. I'm always wearing a tie.
real order departure
I was a greasy short-order cook. I just liked being greasy! That was a real departure for me.
thinking actors want
Every actor wants to do more, because you always think you can improve it.
war college thinking
Path To War was the last thing that John Frankenheimer directed, I think, before he died. I'm a huge U.S. history buff, and I studied the Vietnam era in college, so when I read the script, I was, like, "I really want to be in this thing so badly..."
pairs enjoy obvious
I always enjoy being the obvious homunculus of the pair.
real superhero done
I've never done real sci-fi. I've never played an alien. I've never played some sort of superhero. Which I'd love to do!
superhero hollywood shocked
I'm frankly shocked that Hollywood hasn't called me to do a superhero.
father news firsts
My first film role was a reporter. It's funny, because my father was a news reporter. I always thought there was something strange about that.
school college serious
I always loved doing productions in school. In college, I started getting a little more serious.
soccer moving giving
I really had spent my whole life playing soccer, and the fact that I was willing to give that up for theater, that told me I was moving in that direction.
stress machines easy
It can be easy and comfortable on the set and you don't go anywhere, or it can be a stress machine and all of a sudden it's a hit.
memorable long fans
I had one really memorable line. It was all the words you're not allowed to say on the airwaves, so it's one long list of swear words. I knew it anyway, because I was a huge George Carlin fan.
school thinking actors
I think if I learned anything in graduate school, it was to not drool around other actors who would normally make you drool.
actors direct
I guess actors don't like to direct each other.
