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.
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.
actors direct
I guess actors don't like to direct each other.
swear-to-god guy world
Bradley Cooper was an asshole, but he was - like Sidney Lumet, like George Clooney - the nicest guy in the world. I sound like the biggest ass-kisser ever. But I'm telling the truth, I swear to God!
fun play able
Being able to play a role where you're there almost every day and you're just in it... I remember it was a whirlwind, but it was a lot of fun.
tables next six
I sat next to Robert Duvall at the lawyers' table for six weeks, and it's still probably the best six weeks of my life.
years shows five-years
When you're on a show for five years, everyone becomes friends. It's great.
fun real guy
I was spending three days literally just kibitzing with Jack Nicholson at a table! It was heaven! And talk about a normal guy. My God, he was just so real and cool and relaxed and fun. And he was a great performer. He's such an actor. He really was so focused on every moment. It was great.
daughter character men
People would stop me in the street - my demographic tends to be the elderly Jewish women from Miami; I think they tend to fancy me as someone that would've been good with their daughter or something - and a lot of them will do the wrist-slapping thing. "Oh, you're a terrible man! Just terrible!" And I'm, like, "Well, it's just a show. I'm just playing a character."
