All I've tried to do as an actor is follow the good writing. That's been my main drive. It's not always possible, so when you do come upon it, like when I came upon this, you realize pretty quickly this is something you need to be involved with.

It was a great experience.

The best roles you have to fight for. You have to really want to do it and you have to go after it.
