It's extreme. The character comes back from the dead, and, at first he doesn't know where he is, how he got there.... How does that tie in with the physicality? I just didn't think he should be too healthy-looking, so I lost some weight for the role.

All I can tell you is that you cannot make choices in your own career, either career choices or choices when you're actually working as an actor, based on trying to downplay or live up to a comparison with somebody else. You just can't do that. You have to do your own work based on your own gut, your own instincts, and your own life.

The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering.

I’ve worked tirelessly organizing an intervention and it’s incredibly upsetting that it never came to fruition.I wanted my dad’s hopeful sobriety and recovery to be a private family matter but, as a result of hisaccusations on social media, I feel forced to speak out, i have and will continue to cooperate with law enforcement as needed.
