- Playing men of power who in addition to being corrupt, are just plain mean
- Used to work as a stockbroker at the same firm as Martha Stewart. The two remain good friends.
- His younger brother is an FBI agent.
- He served in the US Marine Corps, but contrary to previous press releases never saw any combat nor was he wounded.
- Father of two adopted children: Cormack (b. 1993) and Sarah (b. 1995).
- His football coach and English teacher at Chaminade High School turned him on to both sports and acting. While there he played both tackle and the title role of "Macbeth".
- [in 1993, on his quitting drinking] I used to be a pretty serious drinker. Heavy in defiance of knowing my family situation, which is chock-full of alcoholism. For a long time I was a functional alcoholic, though it never got in the way of my work. But it affected relationships. I never killed anybody, but I made people unhappy, including myself and people who are extremely important to me, like my kids. It's easy to say I had a wonderful time and a lot of great years, and I did. There were some bad times, too. So that was not a major give-up. That time was due.
- At 68 years old I'm as interested now, if not more so, than I was when I was 24 or 25...[but] if you're sixty-something, pushing 70, the chances of you getting a tremendously fascinating part in the movies are very low, as to be almost negligible, or even in television. But in the theatre, there are still things to do, very interesting, very profound things.
- It took a long time for me to have any impact in the business because I didn't look like an actor, I didn't sound like an actor.
- I lied about serving in Vietnam and I'm sorry. I did not mean to take away from the actions and the sacrifices of the ones who did really serve there...I did steal valor. That was very wrong of me. There is no real excuse for that. I was a peace-time Marine, and I got out in 1963 without ever serving in Vietnam... I started the story that I had been in 'Nam, and I got stuck with it. Then I didn't know how to set the record straight.
