I've always said, 'Besides Kiefer Sutherland, I talked on a cell phone more than any other actor on a TV show.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Kiefer Sutherland is a crazy jerk on '24,' but you love him because he gets the job done. And I think that that goes for a lot of action stars, I mean Steven Segal is a jerk, but you want to watch him because, eventually, he's a jerk who can beat up bad people.
The majority of directors I've worked with didn't know how to talk to actors.
When you consider that you're a character that doesn't speak, but you've still got to react to the other actors, you've got to make a noise of some kind.
I always learn something from every actor I've ever worked with. I always pick something from them.
With any actor, if you know your character well enough, you'll know pretty much what he would say under any circumstance, or whatever situation might rear its head.
Michael Arndt, that guy - you're just supposed to say nice things about other writers, but I worship Michael Arndt.
I always get a little uppity when I hear the phrase 'TV actor.' It's like saying you're a magazine reporter. I was in the theater for ten years before I ever had a TV audition.
The biggest compliment I can ever get as an actor is to have someone say, 'We didn't recognize you.'
I've been called 'the voice actor.'
Actors don't listen to each other. You're so obsessed with what you're saying or doing that the other person could be talking in Swahili and you wouldn't know.
