I Think When You Play A Role,

I Had Just Finished Reading The Day Of The Locust When This Piece Was Brought To My Attention, And I Was Like, "how Do You Create Art In The System, The Way It Is?" Looking Around The Studio Film Landscape, There Are All Of These Great Superhero Movies, Which Is Fantastic, Especially For My Kids, But It's Hard To Find Real Art House Films In The Studio System, These Days.

I Look At A Pilot And Go, "i See The Landscape. I See The Characters. I See The Direction And The Potential Of The Story." And I Also Go, "that Didn't Work. I Could Change That. Maybe That Works. I Don't Know. We'll See." For Me, I Look At It, As An Actor, As What Can I Improve Upon? So, To Have It Out There And Judged Solely On Its Own Merit Is Really A Unique Experience For Me.

When You Really Put Your Heart And Soul Into Something, The Temptation Is To Try To Be In Control Of Circumstances, However You Can, And Looking And Seeing How People Are Responding.

What Is Ultimately Motivating The Character?

I've Never Cared About How Successful Or How Big I Was Going To Be. I Just Wanted To Be Part Of A Story That Affected People, Made Them Laugh Or Cry. To Me, That Was More Important Than Having My Face On Some Billboard.
