I think that being a producer is business and being an actor is art.

I learned a lot from Dick Wolf. I'll always remember playing that character because it was such a good character. It was great to be able to be a character like that for television. I think the thing that I'll bring from the whole experience, the whole 10 years, is I had never been interested in the television business before.

When you are a character actor they trust you will go in and give them a full character and leave.

But the one thing that I did do was establish myself as a good actor.

I am a method actor, but I'm also a film actor as well as a method actor. Characters that don't have humility, whether they are heroes or villains, are hard to relate to. All characters in every aspect of what we do should have humility. If they don't, then they're a cartoon character.

I'll be working the rest of my life because I'm a character actor and don't have to worry about box office.
