My first show, in England, was called 'Soldier, Soldier.'

I've spent all my life playing roles that illustrious people have played before me.

I was a soldier in WWII. The last couple of months of the war I was actually in combat.

I was a lieutenant in World War II.

My heroes are the non-commissioned officers. If I had another life that's what I'd be - a regimental sergeant major or a similar rank. That's where the spirit of the armed forces is.

If I play a cop, it's always a racist cop or a trigger-happy cop or a crooked cop - but by and large I play cowboys, bikers, and convicts.

Usually I play the bad guy role, a terrorist or someone.

In my proper character, I am an officer of the United States Army.

I ran the high school newspaper and was in student government. I played sports my whole life but was never picked as captain.
