So I think what you see in this show is it's really not a just world at all, but you get what you give. So in terms of world view, I would say that's where the differences lie.
They're mutually incompatible I feel; being a wise thief and a wise father.
I worked with people I admire; Josh Lucas, who I'd worked with many many years ago on a pilot called The Class of 61 and Kurt Russell, and so there were a variety of different people that I enjoyed working with.
Comedy and I were never strangers, it's just that I was doing a lot of drama.
I'm always a fan of a good horror film.
I'm not a good enough singer to pull off the effect.
If the story's interesting and it's a compelling script, I'd be thrilled to be a part of it.
Drama was always clogging up the phone line. It's like that's what people call me for.
If you go back to the Conan the Barbarian series, I really liked that.
My family life and my ideals, my commitment to the community and to other people - all people - has been improved. I think less about myself and more about my community today.
It was good to travel to the other side of the world.
Everyone is outraged by thieves and liars. I think I understand why Nick does what he does. For me, it's not nearly as outrageous as other people might think it is. He evolves before our very eyes. I like this guy.
To me, the psychology behind the character is critical. So I work very hard to get into the mind of the man that I'm going to be playing, because number one, I want to understand why he's doing what he's doing. It's essential, it's absolutely essential.
And I thought that was the best way for me to participate, because standing in the crowd and listening is a fantastic education, but it's not my nature. I need to be involved. So I did that instead.
