“I don't have a preference for bad people, no. I have an interest in playing a broad range of characters. Obviously, I'm mostly identified with a character who is very responsible, very solid and very intelligent, but there are plenty of questionable characters in my past career. I'm interested in exploring theatricality and characters with some dimension.” PeopleCharacterPastInterestCareersIntelligentResponsiblePlentyRangeDimensionsBroadsExploringPreferenceBad PeopleMy PastQuestionable Author:Leonard Nimoy
“A nature wise With finding in itself the types of all, With watching from the dim verge of the time What things to be are visible in the gleams Thrown forward on them from the luminous past, Wise with the history of its own frail heart, With reverence and sorrow, and with love, Broad as the world, for freedom and for man.” MenWorldHeartCharacterPastWiseTypeSorrowFindingsVisibleThrownBroadsReverenceLuminousVergeFrailGleam Book:Miscellaneous poems.
