Personal Quote:

When you're working for a good director, you become subjective and submissive. You become his concubine. All that you're seeking is his pleasure. See more »

Trivia:

Originally wanted to be a sculptor, but decided to be an actor after witnessing people praise a drawing of Churchill that he thought was awful (he realized he couldn't make art to please other people). He had never attended a theater performance, and still hadn't when he received his first role. Thus he was behind the proscenium arch before ever having been in front of it. See more »

Trademark:

Adds a touch of eccentricity (sometimes much more than a touch) to each role See more »

Star Sign:

Cancer
