Personal Quote:

It's a continual problem when you don't have the lead. There's always the possibility you'll get cut; you have no control. If there's a scene with a character who isn't the lead and if it threatens the main story or detracts from it in any way, it doesn't make a difference how good it is. It goes. See more »

Trivia:

Played mystery novelist Dashiell Hammett twice; first as the lead in Hammett, then as a supporting role in Citizen Cohn. See more »
