In a movie script, you know what the moments are that you really have to hit it out of the park.

It was pretty surreal to be auditioning as a kid, and I'd get close to these actors that I really respected. I remember River Phoenix in particular. I met him at an audition hall or something.

I've always played different kinds of roles, and I probably played more vulnerable parts when I was really young.

I pretty much lived movie to movie in my younger years because I loved spending money, and I didn't really have a concept of 'assets,' but as I got a little older, I bought art.

I don't know if it's a romantic comedy but I'm in the beginning of the first of the season of 'The West Wing.' We shot it last year. I don't know. If anyone asks me to be in one, I'll jump on it.

A lot of stand-up comedy is embarrassing: too many idiots doing it in orange neckties against brick walls. I find most sitcoms embarrassing, too, because they seem so forced.

Doing comedy is very difficult and if you do it perfectly you can do any kind of roles.

Reilly Brown is a master of balancing action, humor, and extreme violence, and his character designs for some of the alien races and technology that we encounter is just amazing.
