Every time you have a crisis in a country you have an extreme wing coming up and proposing solutions. The way to fight them is by doing lots of work teaching people that every time these fascist systems gained power they ended up with big tragedies - lots of blood, lots of police, and lots of misery.
I see these other actors come up with this tough-guy personas and now when they're on talk shows they're all. . . But that's not really the way they are. I probably could have used a little bit of that. At one point I was labeled "The King Of Dumb White Guys. " I was offended by that when I was younger, but I understand what that's from, so I was like, "Only a genius can play a fool. " But I'm very aware of that, and I'll play into it and use it however I need to use it.
