With 'Richard,' I was excited to make this film with such an amazing role for an actor. Play a wide range of emotion and really invest myself in the character.

My first project was 'Hunchback of Notre Dame'. I co-produced that.

I loved Old School. I thought Old School was very different than a lot of the comedies that had come out. And that character I liked. I tried to ground him very much in reality and play him very much finding things important to him that are somewhat ridiculous.

I was a huge 'Deadwood' fan because I'm a huge David Milch fan, so I've always wanted to play something like Calamity Jane on 'Deadwood' and just be the biggest Western tomboy girl, ever.

There has to be something that I like about a character for me to be able to play him.

I love the character I played in 'Criminal Minds.'

I think Mercutio in 'Romeo and Juliet' would be my favorite role. I've never played it, but I would love to do it.

I really enjoyed playing Vinny Vedecci, the Italian talk show host. He was the first character I ever came up with where I gave him a name and a way of dressing.

I like to cast actors I admire, one's that are talented. Each one will bring something new to the part. This play has been done thousands of times and now certain characters are too familiar.

I thought the best route to being the great actor I wanted to be was to play the great classical parts.
