Personal Quote:

[on John McCain, whom he portrayed in 'Game Change'] He's a man with a tremendous sense of honor and duty. And I think, when he decided to go into politics, his ambition and his ego were in constant conflict with this sense of honor and duty and patriotism. See more »

Trivia:

He has a brother living in Norman, Oklahoma - where Ed attended the University of Oklahoma. See more »
