I've always played the guy with the gun and the knife. That's how many actors start out, playing the bad guy.

I trained as a theatre actor and you had a bare stage and you had to pretend, one prop and you are in the middle of 8th Ave. and traffic is just going by.

Asking the proper question is the central act of transformation!

Nothing can be so bad as to be displeased with one's self.

The president of the branch in Atlanta was a pastor of a church, the Reverend Sam Williams, a wonderful guy. He was middle-class and fairly militant for the time and place.

Probably your first agent is going to be some guy who also handles dog acts.
