I Feel That Our Stories Are Cross

It Was Amazing To Be Nominated By The Academy Who Saw Fit For Me To Be Nominated For Best Supporting Actor. The Critic's Choice Award Was Wonderful. I'm On Cloud Nine.

I Like To Always Wash The Slate Clean, And Reinvigorate My Spirit To Be Connected To The Characters That I Am Doing. I Am Finding New Ways To Allow Myself To Soar Beyond The Parameters Of What The Writers Have Written. My Key Is To Commit, And Love Your Character.

I Never Like To Refer Back To Anything I've Done When I'm Working On A Character, Even If That Character Has The Same Occupation.

I Always Wanted To Be A Boy Scout But Was Too Poor. Couldn't Do It.

I First Felt Successful When I Was 13 And In A Show Called "seesaw." I Came Offstage And Heard The Applause Of The Theater Audience And Felt A Sense Of Accomplishment. Around That Time, My Role Model For Success Was Burt Lancaster. He Was One Of The First Actors In Hollywood To Start His Own Production Company, And I Respected Him Because He Created Something He Believed In.
