Personal Quote:
[on The Shawshank Redemption (1994)]: Nobody knows what a shawshank is, and redemption sounds religious, so who's going to go see that?Trivia:
The Mist (2007) is not his first experience with the story as he played the main character, David Drayton, in the audio-book version. See more »Trademark:
