I always try to stick to the script because I want to respect the,writers, and I want to respect the director. But if the director and my,fellow actors are okay with me playing with it a little bit, then I,definitely want to play with it.
I went through puberty late. I was a little, little, tiny kid. I was,still growing in college.
Just take yourself back to September 2001. As that month went on, and as that autumn unrolled, everybody wanted to do something. How can I help? Do you want my blood? Do you want money for the victims? I was a captain in the Marine Corps. I knew what I could do. I was right there. I was ready. I saw it. I moved the rubble with my own hands. .
