My best friend:
"My dog, an Akita, is named Ronin. His name comes from a dark comic book I read as a kid."

Not-so-tall tale:
"Back in junior high school, I looked just like Mini-Me. I came up to the shoulders of all my friends."

My alter ego's day job:
"I drove a stock car once up at California Speedway. There's something about the fact that you're that close to death that I really like."

My dream car:
"A Porsche. The Germans make great cars."

Desert island must-have:
"Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Nothing beats the original Krispy Kreme."

Unidentified foreign objections:
"Until there is tangible evidence that aliens exist, it's still up for debate."

On the good (working) life:
"Whether I am on the sand on a beach in Tahiti or in downtown Los Angeles working in the middle of the night, I am happy. As long as I'm acting, that's the most important thing: to be able to find a really good story and tell it the best way I can."
