I had the luck that my parents educated me in three languages. With my mother I spoke Dutch, with my father Italian, and in the school I learned German. But my host language is Italian.

I mean, people don't know what race I am. They never know if I'm Hawaiian or Italian or Mexican or Spanish or white. I could play Jewish, I could play anything.

We played the same thing in Europe we played in the States.

I'm 100 percent Irish by birth, grew up Italian, and yet I constantly get cast as playing Jewish.

I've played different nationalities, and everything from vulnerable to strong to crooked to demented. It just increases your possibilities of work because, if people know you can do just about anything, then you're going to get more offers. That's what I want to do.

I'm not foreign enough to play foreigners... I have sort of a mid-Atlantic British accent that puts me in the middle of everything, so they don't know quite where to put me.

I am lucky that the Western world chooses me to play roles in their movies an television, whatever language it may be.

I might have played a little bit more in Europe than I have in Japan.
