Ron Eldard

I feel blessed that I am able to play really dark guys in a business where they usually want you to play the same character over and over. Poor Michael Rapaport will being playing white homeboys till the day he dies. That's not the kind of career I want.

I have worked with a lot of kids. Most of them have been really lovely. But there are a lot of trappings.

I did a show called 'Bakersfield, P.D.' That was one of the best things I have ever done.

I'll just say it: I love Sundance; my very first film won Sundance.

I love Rob Schneider.

Independent films, for the most part, to me, are not so independent. They often feel like people auditioning for a big commercial career. They often do not have independent spirit to them.

I can play really terrible human beings, and I seem to have a quality that people can, if not necessarily forgive me those sins, at least cut me some slack.
