I certainly have played a lot of strong characters, and I love playing a strong character.

People would stop me in the st...

People would stop me in the street - my demographic tends to be the elderly Jewish women from Miami; I think they tend to fancy me as someone that would've been good with their daughter or something - and a lot of them will do the wrist-slapping thing. 'Oh, you're a terrible man! Just terrible!' And I'm, like, 'Well, it's just a show. I'm just playing a character.'

I had one really memorable line. It was all the words you're not allowed to say on the airwaves, so it's one long list of swear words. I knew it anyway, because I was a huge George Carlin fan.

Woody Allen, that was a dream ...

Woody Allen, that was a dream come true, although I never really talked to him. Auditioning was fun, because you don't really hear much about the script. They just said, 'They want a Woody Allen type,' so of course I got the call.

If it's a good role, I'm happy to play it.

I can play a Jewish guy, another Jewish guy, and then another Jewish guy, and then maybe a Cuban guy. Or at least a Middle Eastern guy. But for me, they're all Jews.

Maybe I'm just lucky I'm not working with any assholes... yet.

I know I'm going to sound like an idiot, because I actually think that everybody's the nicest guy ever, but I'm telling you: George Clooney, Roland Emmerich, Sidney Lumet - these are literally the nicest people.

Anything government or politics is always exciting for me.

Every actor wants to do more, because you always think you can improve it.

Path To War was the last thing...

Path To War was the last thing that John Frankenheimer directed, I think, before he died. I'm a huge U.S. history buff, and I studied the Vietnam era in college, so when I read the script, I was, like, 'I really want to be in this thing so badly...'

I guess actors don't like to direct each other.

I think if I learned anything ...

I think if I learned anything in graduate school, it was to not drool around other actors who would normally make you drool.

I'm a huge, huge sports fan. A massive sports fan.

It can be easy and comfortable...

It can be easy and comfortable on the set and you don't go anywhere, or it can be a stress machine and all of a sudden it's a hit.

I wound up auditioning, wound ...

I wound up auditioning, wound up getting in, and I was off to the races: I was putting in four more years after school to train to be an actor. I was 26 years old, and I still had a locker, for Christ's sake!

Some friends of mine in the class ahead of me in college were auditioning for graduate school in New York, and then a few of them got into Juilliard, and it sort of opened my eyes. I didn't really know anything about it, but it opened my eyes to a possible next step after school, where I could just deepen my knowledge and also not be responsible for life and stay in school.

I really had spent my whole life playing soccer, and the fact that I was willing to give that up for theater, that told me I was moving in that direction.

I always loved doing productions in school. In college, I started getting a little more serious.

My first film role was a reporter. It's funny, because my father was a news reporter. I always thought there was something strange about that.
