I did all sorts of cartoons and stuff. And every once in a while I still do. It's rare, but it happens.
I'm not really often recognized - not really. Or if I am, nobody cares enough to come and tell me that they recognize me.
I look pretty different. Luckily for me, I don't get harassed or anything like that.
To spend 36 hours or 48 hours of my life binge-watching something seems insane to me.
Movies that I remember working on, or things that I remember working on, are things that took years of struggle and strife to get them off the ground or get them in front of the public. You don't have that kind of strife or whatever with a television show. It has an automatic platform. You go in, you do your job, and then it goes on air, and that's that.
Pretty much any time in my career where I worked on television it was usually because of some financial woes or something.
Basically, if I ever went and worked on a crime drama or something, it was usually just for the work.
I was often getting hired to play sociopaths and psychopaths and stuff, which is really funny.
I think I was always interested in darker characters just because there was a lot more to do.
It's so enjoyable to play a bad guy, you know.
I actually was doing ghostwriting jobs since I was 17 years old, so I've been supporting myself off and on with writing jobs for almost 10 years. But those were all things that I did off the books. And now I do a lot more writing on the books.
Now I write often. I decided that I need to write for myself - I can't really direct other people's material.
Characters for me are born on page one and they die on page 100.
I feel that as a writer and as a performer too. I never really thought about backstory for characters. It was much more of a musical approach: You learn a melody, and then you sing it, I suppose, or you find a rhythm or a cadence that works for the material. And then it's sort of about hitting that note correctly and finding those beats.
