My father was Catholic, my mom Baptist, so we were raised Baptist but had a lot of Catholic upbringing: fish on Fridays, no birth control.
All my brothers have my father's voice.
The intolerance of people against other people is growing and growing. And the thing is, this is not anything that's changed. This has been going on for years.
I went through a phase where all I was doing was commercials, and not that it was a bad thing, but I was referred to as 'the Allstate guy' as I was walking the streets. Someone comes up to you on the street, you would like them to know your name.
I knew I wanted to act since I was 10, but I didn't actually start acting until I was in high school. My favorite play was 'Lilies of the Field.'
I used to get really jealous of Ron Howard as Opie on 'The Andy Griffith Show' - we were the same age. I would just think, 'God, that little kid can work, and I can't!'
I grew up in Northern California, and theater is all there was. I didn't know how to go about starting a career when I was 10.
I have children, so I'm constantly worrying about the world they are going to inherit.
I think the first time 'white' was used was in the 1600s. Generally, we were described by where we came from... All of a sudden, this word 'white' came through, and now everyone is going for their own sense of power... to figure out who's on top.
I've always been a big Western fan.
I'd like to get into the superhero genre. I'd love to do either a DC or a Marvel character.
I love romance films, especially between people of color, because we don't really explore that enough. I would love to do that.
When you're playing a good character, you have an idea that you're playing the hero and the good guy. Actually, I think you're more stymied playing the good guy than you are the bad guy. As the bad guy, you have no inhibitions. Nothing stops you from doing what it is you feel you have to do. You do it because it's what's required.
All of the directors I work with have their own unique gifts.
I don't think it should matter to the American people what color skin is on their president. What should matter is the content of their character.
