Personal Quote:
(2013, on directing) I don't have that directing thing. I don't want to be out there setting up shots all day. I like to act. I read the script and sign the contract. I like hanging out in my trailer watching Judge Judy (1996) and eating sandwiches. See more »Trivia:
Has the rare distinction of having played characters that have been eaten by both a shark and a dinosaur. See more »Trademark:
