Brion James

Since very early in my career, I have always did my own stunt fighting.

Blade Runner helped make my career. Everybody was in it. Who knew?

My whole deal when I do accents or dialects is I gotta fool the locals. If I fool the locals then I've done my job.

I was a different kind of kid, oversensitive and all that.

I'm big and a lot of the stars are smaller so if you're big and mean looking, you play bad guys. After Blade Runner, I was the meanest guy in Hollywood.

The bad guys are the best parts.

I play out negative fantasies for people. I'm the guy people love to hate. And they always remember the bad guy.

You never know what show is going to change your life.

I've never considered myself a leading man, don't look like one, don't want to be one.

I prayed to God for help and I put myself in a recovery house called Studio 12. It was for people in the business and you didn't have to have any money to go, which was good because I was broke.

Westerns was why I got into the business. I grew up on a small farm in California and all I ever wanted to do was to play gangsters and cowboys in movies.

You know, stand-up comedy is where I pretty much started out.
