An artist can go paint, and a writer can go write, but an actor needs to get hired, needs somebody to say, 'Here, come and do this,' That's the hard part. Brimstone was great. That was another occasion when they called me in to do the pilot and it turned into a regular job, which made me quite happy. It was another really good experience and we were all so surprised when they pulled the plug on it. Dr Jason Woodrue was a ball to play, especially since I was kissed to death by Uma Thurman. I feel like a pig, sometimes, looking for truffles, maybe just kind of snouting around in the mud. I graduated from high school in '62 and I didn't know any people who were gay. I'm sure there were people, but I didn't know any. For years and years, I guess, I was very uptight about being a gay actor. I thought it would make me less hirable. I guess that's a flaw in my career, that I like to work too much. I had a great time doing 'Scrooged.' Bill Murray was incredibly generous to me. There was a lot of improvisation, which I felt very intimidated by. I think he sensed that, and he would kind of throw me some lines and things to use. I think we all have madness in us, it's just that I've realized mine and found a way to let it out. I was terrified of being a teacher. To stand in front of a classroom, the responsibility is boggling. Imagine! Standing in front of people! I've lived in L.A. for almost 15 years now, and I've gotten sucked in a little bit to that success game that's played out there, and I wasn't enjoying my work. It's so much fin to play warped people. I've always enjoyed playing a little warped. Luck has had a great deal to do with my career. There are parts of me that I keep secret even from myself. I have demons and I'd love to be able to healthily look at the demons and still be a wonderful actor and not feel I need them to create. There's more depth to Lionel. What I am finding so interesting about playing him is there's all these different layers. I prefer playing Lionel because he's a human being. We're having a great time making Smallville. Alfred and Miles have done an excellent job of assembling a group of actors not a group of people looking for fame. There's a huge difference. When I first arrived in Los Angeles I became a little bogged down in the whole success thing. Now I'm at a place in my life and career where I just want to work. It's what I do and it makes me very happy. |
