I had great luck with Tim McGraw twice in 'Friday Night Lights' and 'The Kingdom.' I love finding off-beat casting and finding someone you know in one way and you reinvent them in another way. I like doing that as a director.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've only had good experiences with actors. Starring next to them and directing them, for the most part they're all inspiring, special people.
I loved working on 'Donnie Darko.' I learned a lot from the cast, Jake Gyllenhaal and the producers. I love doing what I do because I get to meet so many great people.
I have done all of the genres, and the dramatic role is my favorite.
I'm one of those fortunate actors who gets to work pretty much every day. I've had a run of good fortune and work with some terrific people who have hired me.
On a lot of shows that I've done, we had the same directors, which was cool. But then, it's also great to do shows where the director changes every week, because you get to see all these different personalities and see what you like dealing with better, as an actor.
I am a lucky regional theater actor who happened to get a good role.
I had a good time working with Russell Crowe, Ron Howard and Ed Harris. It was a great cast and Russell worked really hard, doing tons of research and questioning everything.
I've done a little directing, but I love acting more.
I keep meeting directors that are so irresistible. I only do irresistible films, because I don't need to act to feel myself alive.
It's a long struggle being an actor; I don't know if I'd ever recommend it to anybody!
