Kevin Spacey
If youre not concerned about maintaining an image, you can pursue roads that another actor might not take.

Our job, you know, in the entertainment profession is to try to illuminate and show people all sides of humanity, and it doesn't just mean that you can only do movies that are only about the good parts of us. You have to be able to eliminate the bad parts.
