I Would Make A Horrible Politician, Because

I've Done My Share Of Reading About Abraham Lincoln, Throughout My Life, And He Wasn't Always Carved In Stone. He Was A Human Being. He Was A Very Thoughtful, Self-educated, Complex, Magnanimous Human Being, Who Was Very, Very Strong, Very Smart And Very Canny, With A Very Strong Sense Of What Was Right And What Was Wrong. Through All That, He's Become An Icon, Over The Years, And Some Of His Warmth And Humanity Has Been Lost. You Don't Tend To Think Of Lincoln As This Warm, Funny Person, But He Was.

If You Were To Ask My Agent, They Would Confirm This: I'm Drawn To Locations. What Really Drew Me To 'the 4400,' Aside From The Fact That It Was Sci-fi, Was The Fact That It Was Shot In The City Of My Dreams: Vancouver.

I Tend To Get Comfortable With The Dialogue And Find Out Who The Person Is In The Script And Try To Hit That. People Are Sort Of Independent Of Their Occupations And Their Pastimes. You Don't Play A Politician Or A Fireman Or A Cowboy - You Just Play A Person.

On Land, You Can Walk Away From People, From Unpleasant Situations. But When You're On A Ship For 14 Months With 49 Other People, If You Don't Resolve Your Issues It Literally Could Mean - And This Would Be An Extreme Circumstance - The Sinking Of The Ship. You Learn A Lot About Other People. You Learn A Lot About Yourself.

I Can't Say That I Haven't Done Some Bad Acting In My Time. I Have. Usually That Involves What We Actors Call Indicating, When You Twirl Your Mustache.
