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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
superhero hollywood shocked
I'm frankly shocked that Hollywood hasn't called me to do a superhero.
pairs enjoy obvious
I always enjoy being the obvious homunculus of the pair.
actors direct
I guess actors don't like to direct each other.
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..."
ties doctors agents
I'm always an agent or a lawyer or a doctor or a banker. I'm always wearing a tie.
sports care
Sports and politics are basically all I really care about or talk about.
