Edward Herrmann

I remember seeing the first Astaire-Rogers musical on television, and I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. It dawned on me that you don't have to wear a cowboy hat to be a man.

The French suffered such catastrophic losses in the First World War. It really was the end of them as a great world power, although they, quote, 'won.'

I like sunny stories. You know, my favorite girls in the '50s were Debbie Reynolds, Doris Day, and Esther Williams.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.
