Often I play, especially on television, a lot of smart lawyer people and cerebral types.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Even when I'm playing a lawyer or a doctor, I want to play a person. A human being.
I tend to watch a little TV... Court TV, once in a while. Some of the cases I get interested in.
I play a huge variety of roles.
Once I was in my last year of law school, I started doing plays, as I said, without taking the bar. And I got hooked. I did a play called 'Marat/Sade', and I never had so much fun in my life.
People have said I can come off a little trial-lawyerish. I tell people I never actually became a lawyer, but I play one at City Hall.
I usually play character parts in Hollywood films.
I have been surrounded by some of the smartest, brightest, most caring lawyers, by agents who are willing to risk their lives for others, by support staff that are willing to work as hard as they can.
As for lawyers, it's more fun to play one than to be one.
Usually I play people who just keep babbling on and on and on.
I tend to play nurses and waitresses and policewomen.
