It's valuable to me as an artist and actor to explore all kinds of outlets. So if a local filmmaker in Milwaukee had a good story, I'd be part of it in a second.

The filmmaker's got to make it his story and the actors have got to make it their story.

I love dive bars, old movie theaters, live music and good food. The simplest things in life for me are the most important.

If you have a beautiful story, it has to have conflict. If you don't have conflict, it can't be a good story.

Tension is the cornerstone of any good story.

You just have to go to bat and take a swing. And if you're not right for a part, or it goes to a British man, they may remember that you showed up, knew your lines and were good. And maybe they'll call you in for something else.
