Later, my father died up in Marysville. So, my mother and I got in the car and came down to Hollywood.
I also turn down what's probably a good amount of coinage to be made out of playing dads, an incredible number of obnoxious dad.
My dad was quiet, angry, shut down. So my thing is: I express everything that's there. I want to get it all out.

I know all actors are different, but I've never sat down and asked the writers, 'Where are we headed? Am I good or bad?'
I never turn down scripts without good reason. If I did, I would probably never work.
It's the easiest thing in the world to be down about anything. I think the body responds to good vibes.
I know actors who have had to turn down good roles because they just don't pay enough. It's hard.
