I`ve made a career over the last seventeen years of mostly playing men in uniform, especially cops. The one thing for an actor that is death, is if you`re bored. The boredom will show in your work.

I`m oftentimes called away from my family... it`s rather hard for me to be away from them. We`re very close.

I come from a large family so you can count on the fact that I`m going to have more kids.

The whole thing about acting, the draw for me, is the opportunity to do things you don`t get to do in real life.

As far as I know, you only get one shot at this life. It only goes round once and time is precious. When I`m not working, you`d better spend that time with someone important.

I have always been of the mind that good work is good work, whether performed on stage, on television or in film and, like any reasonable actor, I keep my options open.

I don`t really consider myself to be an actor of any particular style. My aim with every role I undertake is to be truthful and honest in that particular portrayal. I don`t have a particular methodology from any one school of thought or training.

I find myself enjoying a deeper love than I ever imagined was possible in the form of my daughter and certainly in the union with my wife. It makes everything else, including work, which is one of the things I`m most passionate about, pale by comparison.

"It takes some kind of fortitude for someone like my mom to single-handedly raise five children, get them through college, and keep them out of jail."

"My family is like a sanctuary to me. I always turn to them for support and strength. I take comfort in knowing no matter which path I choose, my family stands behind me."
