Quote

I've worked in the theater, television, and films. A five-hour TV series is certainly more time than a character I'd be playing in a film.

I will say that when I first came out to the States to work on 'Jericho,' that was the only time that I've ever been frightened about a job, because in America they tell stories over such a long time, and I was petrified that I'd get bored.

I owe 'Jericho' my whole time in America, really. It was a fantastic group of people to work with.

I like playing guys where it's as important what they're thinking as what they're saying. Those are the people I like playing, and the actor that I strive to be. I like actors who work in that area and I like parts that allow me to work in that area.
