“I can’t get rid of the feeling that someone’s gonna walk in the room and tell me that I’m a fraud, or that I have impostor syndrome. They’re gonna hand me a dish-towel and I’ll have to go get back to work. But I hope I never lose that. In a way. Because I’m still not done proving myself yet. And to do that, I need bigger and greater challenges.”
As hurtful as these statements sound, the Canadian-American actor states in a positive way that he should be given greater challenges for future roles so that he may prove to the world that he is indeed not a fraud but a true veteran actor lost in time. Following the loss of his acting career in Hollywood in recent years, several projects have been lined up for the actor including…a Martin Scorsese movie.
