You could just do independent movies, but I like bigger kind of studio movies, at least some of them.
Man, I did love this game. I'd have played for food money... I used to love traveling on the trains from town to town. The hotels... brass spittoons in the lobbies, brass beds in the rooms. It was the crowd, rising to their feet when the ball was hit deep. Shoot, I'd play for nothing!
It would be nice to do a movie where I didn't have to choke the girl to get her.
I know when I go to a movie I want to experience something, whether to laugh, to cry, to feel bad.
In college, I started out doing musicals and Shakespeare
I was looking to become more proactive with my career because I wasn't crazy with some of the scripts I was getting - this was before Blow and Hannibal - so I decided to start my own production company
As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.
Suddenly playing the charming bad guy was my thing.
You know, it was a small, independent movie and with Paramount becoming involved, it was obviously a good thing, but you can't put a round peg in a square hole.
I was on a soap opera before that for three years, where I was the nicest guy on earth.
