My advice to young actors is to push yourself and to aspire to be great.
I want to work with great filmmakers and great actors and get better as an actor.
A lot of good actors tend to be quite introverted as people.
I feel that I am a good actor.
I'm a reasonably good actor, and I'm an average naval officer. Ha, ha!
I respond in the moment which is what makes me a good actor.
