I'm misrepresented as a scary person. I'm not. It's all about my size and my eyebrows.

I have Slavic fat pads that make me look like a chipmunk and arched predatory eyebrows. With that, you're not going to get funny. That's why I play so many bad guys.

I think it's really, really important to mix it up as an actor, to try to get as much kind of varied experience as you can, not only for your own personal growth as an actor but for the audience to keep them guessing about what you're going to do.

I remember finding 'Harold and Maude' strangely erotic. I've always had an octogenarian fetish.

Some actors need to be rattled and some need to be focused.

I didn't think that a career in theater was very realistic so I thought the only thing I could make money doing and still be somewhat artistic was, god help me, advertising.
