Bill Stevenson of The Descendants is really good, too.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think William Trevor is as good as it gets. Whenever I want a book to do exactly what it says it will, I read him.
I've been tremendously moved by a bunch of odd books. Ross McDonald is very important to me. I love the Lew Archer books.
I've recently enjoyed the Paul Thomas Anderson commentaries and the David Fincher commentaries.
I'm a big fan of 'Orphan Black,' and to be one of the original cast members is something that will always be dear to me.
I love those books like 'Gone with the Wind,' the huge, sweeping family sagas.
One of my favorite authors is Robert Cormier. He was a devout Catholic and a very nice man, which might not be the impression you get from reading his books.
All I know is Andrew Davies is an amazing writer; I adore the scripts. I think that Jeremy Piven is outstanding.
I remember watching Robert Powell many years ago. He did 'Jesus of Nazareth,' and I remember thinking that was probably my favorite. Once I got the role, I didn't want to watch anything, because it only influences what you do.
One of my favorite modern American authors is Denis Johnson. I'm deeply inspired by all of his work - I rip him off constantly.
John Lithgow was absolutely wonderful in 'Dexter,' there's no doubt about it.
