I'm One Of Relatively Few Stage-trained Actors Who Doesn't Much Like Acting On Stage. It Feels Kind Of Like Riding The Cyclone At Coney Island, Which I Did When I Was Eight. When It Was All Over, I Was Glad I Had Done It, But Most Of The Time When It Was Actually Happening, I Was Just Kind Of Hanging On For Dear Life.

Most Of The Time When I Receive A Script, It Says Something Like 'rosenberg Is The Fat, Slovenly Mayor, Who Doesn't Want The Kids To Use The Skateboard Park,' Or 'stein Is A Pompous, Rotund Attorney, Imposing To All.' It Would Be So Freeing To Get A Script Where My Character Is Simply Described As 'a Man.'
