Zitat des Tages von Diego Klattenhoff:
In Nova Scotia, there are some definite down-home accents, and it's funny because you can go to Sydney, and one guy is from North Sydney, and you can't understand a thing he's saying, or Glace Bay or wherever.
I've been really fortunate to be associated with all these great shows.
Luckily, I had that experience on 'Homeland,' to work with these unreal people who are unbelievably talented, great actors.
You have to get the casting right. You have to get the people behind it. Your director might not be the right director for the project. And then, it has to test and those people in that room, wherever they are, have to turn those buttons the right way at the right time.
I'm from a very, very rural place. There's really nobody out there, just roads and farms.
I worked at this great Toronto bar, Indian Motorcycle. I started off as the grunt. I was the guy who cleaned up the puke and the ashtrays and the garbage. Worked in front from four in the afternoon until four in the morning.
I can't tell you how good it is to go from 'Homeland' to be lucky enough to find 'The Blacklist' at the right time. It literally came at the very end of pilot season when I thought there was nothing left.
A lot of people are attracted to the acting profession because they think it's a cheap, easy, free ride. It really isn't.
I played a really good guy for two years on 'Homeland,' and I was champing at the bit to play a bad guy.
There's two sides to the sword. It's like, for as many people that love you, there's all the people out there who hate you.
People are amazed that I'm Canadian and I don't have this crazy accent.
I'm not one of these actors who's out of touch with reality, put it that way.
You're always just trying to create opportunities and be ready when those opportunities present themselves. I can't look at anybody and think 'I want to be Damian Lewis' - I'd be setting myself up for failure.
I moved away when I was young, when I was about 19. I'd literally come from an area with dirt roads and stuff like that, right to the centre of a city of about five million people. It's been great. I'm based in New York, and every day, it's amazing.
I grew up working on farms. You'd do anything for money. You'd pick blueberries in the summertime for weeks; you'd cut down, like, spruce and fir trees for pulp.
I grew up playing hockey and baseball, so I wish I had time to get back into it, but living in L.A. and North Carolina, you have to take advantage of the golf.
