My mustache gets so many questions he has his own agen now.
The two things that will defeat a lot of young actors are fear of failure and lack of preparation. With acting, I didn't have a problem with either one - but somehow I didn't equate either one of them to the academic world.
Television's grown up a lot. It's a little more adult, which I think is a good thing. It allows actors to tell more complex stories. I'm happy to see where it ends up.
Risk is the price you pay for opportunity.
I've never reacted well to other people telling me what to do
At my age, turning gray is kind of a blessing, where it softens all of the other horrible things it does to you, but it is what it is.
I think television has always been one to replicate when something's successful.

It is scary for an actor when you get hired as a lead. No matter what the plot is, it is your job to do something interesting enough to make them want to get inside the lead character's head.
