I don't keep a record of the parts I've played, and I don't compare characters, but maybe I should? I could construct a graphic that grades badness and madness levels? Interesting idea.

Characters who have some kind of free rein on their darker selves are always fun because they've taken the license off. You just get to fill out all the colors.

Forney in 'Where the Heart Is' has more fans than any other character I've played.

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.

Twice a week I would receive injections or IV's of Factor VIII which clotted the blood and then broke it down.
