Quotes
- "I mean usually with movies, if you're dark, you're a bad guy. That's it. I turned down a million bad guy things."
- "I didn't want to be an actor who played Italian thugs. I'm not even interested in those guys really, unless it's a great part. And I knew that movies were predicated on how you look. But a few people gave me the opportunities to do other things, and I just took it and ran with it."
