Whenever I do something, particularly if it's a cameo, I make sure that I have a backstory written out so that I can talk to the director intelligent and try to communicate a three-dimensional character.
I think you have a responsibility as an artist to continually reach a hand out and try and inspire people.
I was a 'Trekkie' growing up.
Worth' was a script that was sent to me, and I felt it was something different and important to do.
Whenever I can make it work out, and schedule permitting, I like to help young filmmakers.
I almost did 'Doctor Strange.' I went in to do a session to play Dormammu.
I'm a big fan of advertising during sports events.
The black community has always been a fan of horror films, but in terms of the participants, they've been few and far between.
Everybody loves a horror story because it's a roller coaster ride -you wait for the slow ride to the top then speed down with all the bumps, twists and turns.
True story - When 'Candyman' first came out, my daughter and I were Christmas shopping, and people were harassing us. Finally my daughter puts down her shopping bag and said 'That's not Candyman! That's my dad!' I will never forget that, because that's when we really bonded.
I grew up on video games. When I was in college, even during snowstorms, I would go the half-mile to the drugstore to play 'Millipede.'
Dude, I've been a gamer ever since Intellivision.
I remember watching 'Abbott and Costello vs Frankenstein' continuously as a kid and being amazed that my horror legends were making a comedy.
I collect Gottlieb games, and I play classic pinball.
I hustled my way through college playing pinball.
Dude, I've played almost every position except for President. When I did 'The Event,' I was head of the CIA. When I did 'Chuck,' I was head of the NSA. For a guy that's a hippie at heart, I don't know where they think of this.
One of the things that motion capture and/or voice acting does is allow you to continue your career, change it, or bring a new aspect to it.
I like critical failures. It makes you work harder.
Although we're all in this to make a living, why not make something to make an impact? One day, I'll make a horror film. I think I know what the audience wants.
But my career's so much deeper than just horror.
