Personal Quote:

[on his favorite movie role] I always say it was 'Eddie and the Cruisers' because the director had come to me and said, "Listen, if you fuck this up we're gonna fire you. We'll get Rick Springfield, he's waiting to do the role." So there was a tremendous amount of pressure. See more »

Contrary to persistent rumors, he was not the original choice to play the Punisher/Frank Castle in The Punisher. See more »
