I'm not much of a jokester.

A lot of the television industry is so cookie-cutter. In general, there are so many shows that are easy and bland to watch. You can tune in at any time and know exactly where you are in the story arc because it's pretty much the same every week.

I always did think that when I turned 40, I'd start coming into my own.

I'm no Leonardo DiCaprio.

The guys I grew up with, my cinematic heroes, have always been men of few words, but of action. Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach.

You get a sense of how the show works and then let your personality take over.
