My First Acting Class Was Taught By

The First Play I Did Was 'philadelphia Here I Come.' Can You Imagine That? I Am 37 Years Old I Am Doing My Second Professional Play And I Am On Stage With John Malkovich. Joan Allen, Laurie Metcalf And Gary Sinise. One Huge Name After Another. I Was Terrified And Petrified, Could Hardly Get A Word Out Of My Mouth.

I've Played A Lot Of Roles I Haven't Wanted To Play, Either Because They Needed Someone In The Theatre Or Because They Couldn't Do It Without Me 'cause They Don't Have Anyone Else The Right Age.

I Don’t Think The United States Has Done Anything Whatsoever To Merit Any Criticism By The British.

What I Mostly Do Is Take The Script, Analyse The Hell Out Of It, See What's In There, See What Kind Of Person I'm Dealing With, And Then Forget I'm Playing A Father And Just Play A Person Who Exemplifies All Those Things.

I Don't Take Much From My Own Father, Because He Was A Very Austere, Quiet, Private Man Who Would Come Home From Work, Go To His Parlour And Play Beethoven On His Piano.
