Quote: "I might be an imbecile, but I've never refused a role because the character is a bad guy․ I've refused roles because they're too simplistic․"
Quote: "(On appearing in his first feature film, "A Clear and Present Danger," opposite Harrison Ford) "Nervous hardly describes it․ Imagine this young guy from west Toronto walking onto a set of the White House․""
Quote: "(On the storylines in "Revenge") "Certainly there are soap operatic templates here․ Each person has their shot to be in bed with the wrong person․""
Quote: "(On working with Emily VanCamp, the star of "Revenge") "Emily has such a beautiful, delicate touch to this work․ You don't have to act with her․ You just enjoy it, and you respond to it․""
