I'm flattered if any movie role and my name are mentioned in the same sentence, because there haven't been a ton of them.
The kids all knew me from Wayne's World. The grown-ups knew me after True Lies.
My whole family was in 'Into the West' as a pioneer family; they're in the audience in 'The Great Debaters.' My family's been getting a lot of work off me!
If I don't try and bring variety in my appearances, I will get bored with films, so I can well imagine how bored the audience would get watching me.
No, in Lethal Weapon I was a taxi cab driver that Mel jumps in front of the taxi and pulls me out of the car and steals the taxi. Then I did some other indie driving for some of the car sequences.
Yes well I've done three movies with Samuel L. Jackson, so I've met him a couple of times already. Well, I see him everyday, but its only on the screen.
I didn't want to come in the movie every so often, every 20 minutes saying, 'Dinner is served, would you like coffee?'
It feels blessed to me. Because I go to comic cons, and people come up and they say, 'You're the reason I ride a motorcycle. You're the reason I became a mechanic.' And there are people who love 'Scream' and 'The Waterboy,' 'Royal Pains,' 'Parks & Rec,' 'Arrested Development.' And now 'Barry.' And then there are kids who only know me as an author.
I've been acting for a long time, and I've done a lot of things, and I've been maintaining my anonymity pretty well. I get recognized once a week, at most, here and there, so I'm reluctant to give that up.
I think Janeane Garofalo is incredibly funny, and I love Dennis Miller.
I'll invent a lie. Ricky Gervais has done anything interesting since 'The Office'. There's a lie right there.
I'm bad in front of the camera. However, if someone gave me a small role in a film with two dialogues and one scene, I'd do it.
It's funny, but as time goes by, I get stopped in airports all the time, and it's always about 'Shannon's Deal.'
I have been lucky to have got big offers like 'Kalyug,' 'Traffic Signal' or 'Dhol.'
I can be in 20 movies. But I'll never be an actor.
I had got a couple of offers for appearances in films, but I didn't want to be a part of any film just for the sake of it.
In 'Delhi Belly,' I was bald; in other movies I always carried a different look.
Actually, I had a really nice part in that movie [Ladies And Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains]. I mean, I have, like, one second in the final-cut version, where I say "You're fired" to Diane Lane. That's about all you see of me.
I get recognized for 'Reaper' in the U.K. I was in Costa Rica and got recognized for 'Heroes.' In Canada, it's 'Rookie Blue.' People also think that I'm in the 'Twilight' series because of Kristen Stewart.
Bernie Mac is talented!
I will remember the night I won the New Comedy Awards, as I was young and unformed, so that sticks in the mind. I've also done a fantastic gig at the Royal Albert Hall, which was amazing. Appearing in the Christopher Guest film was also a real highlight, even if I was only in it for a couple of minutes.
I like being in kids' movies, and I like being in family movies.
I combined theatre and films with live TV, such as 'The Royal Variety Show,' performing sketches opposite Bob Hope and Maurice Chevalier.
When I was a young actor I was in a lot of film doing one day work and two days' work, and they've included all those titles, which I don't even remember. I think I've played the lead in about 75 movies.
I don't normally watch films I'm in because I'm squeamish about that and it takes me quite a long time to recover and I have to go to work. I'm not being coy or cute, but it's just true.
