I like the idea of playing people outside of society. That's where I tend to be drawn.
Everyone says I'm intense, or I'm mad, or I play bad guys. I don't see any of that.
School was not a place I enjoyed.
When I grew up, the only way a lad like me would maybe escape was playing football. Not being an actor.
I used to like Barbra Streisand films. It was 'Funny Girl' that really turned me on, in a sense, to acting. I remember it specifically being a rainy Saturday afternoon. I couldn't play football, so I stayed in, and I watched 'Funny Girl.'
