My dad was a New York City cop. His father was a New York City fireman. And my mother's dad was a city taxi driver.

I was born here in the city, born in the Bronx. Son of a cop. One grandfather was a taxi driver; the other was a firefighter. New York is in my DNA.

When I was growing up in New York City, my father was a taxi driver for a time.

I wanted to be a New York City cop before I became an actor.

I run New York City!

The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of all the mystery and the beauty in the world.
