stars teenager character
I found my niche as a character actor, and I've never felt like a movie star or teen idol and never wanted to.
years episodes good-experiences
At our best, it's a good experience but we do 22 episodes a year, so there are some clunkers.
fun opportunity different
When I was younger, it was about doing something that made me nervous. Now, it's for many different reasons. I've had the opportunity to have fun. I don't know why that is, but I like it.
done want episodes
I want every episode to feel like we still haven't done this right yet.
europe back-when directors
So I moved to Europe and only came back when directors like Robert Altman would call me after they'd seen my work in Full Metal Jacket.
fun real interesting
The most fun you can possibly have as an actor is to walk that line between what's real and what's interesting.
children talking people
When you're a child you're able to assimilate so easily into any situation. You even start talking like the people you're around. I wasn't conscious that I was so good at that until I started to truly feel like an actor.
recognition kind deserve
What kind of recognition do I deserve? I don't deserve any recognition.
new-york theater supposed-to-be
No, I knew when I was doing theater in New York that this was what I was supposed to be doing.
actors one-thing good-actors
But the one thing that I did do was establish myself as a good actor.
order law psychology
Our show is different, because it's not about law and order, it's about psychology, the intent of somebody.
water feelings doing-you
The minute you start feeling like you've got it down, you know what you're doing, you're dead in the water.
moving believe doors
And then, as the years went on, I just kept moving along, busting into doors and getting roles, until I started to actually believe that what these other people were saying was true.
acting cost routes
I took a route of acting, rather than starmaking, so it cost me a lot financially.
