My first Broadway show was with Elizabeth Taylor and Maureen Stapleton. Maureen Stapleton, a legend in the theatre; Elizabeth Taylor, a legend, period.
Acting had become something I did and did well - but didn't particularly enjoy.
Because of fear, and the way my career went, I started playing a lot of villainous roles.
'Breaking Away' was a great experience. It's the kind of movie that engenders a lot of goodwill from people.
Character actors have a long shelf life.
