Personal Quote:

I understood what many actors did not understand -- that playing bad guys afforded me more opportunities to work and thus be in different settings. Most westerns have only one hero, and he's pretty much restricted in what he can do ... whereas the heavies run around in gangs and do all kinds of colorful things. See more »
