I was raised to be super polite. I had great parents, but it was a very class-conscious New York environment. One of the things I love about the set is dealing with all kinds of people. It’s one place where being a control freak can be a benevolent thing. I try to project calm so they can do their thing. They shouldn’t look over and see terror in my eyes.

[asked what his personal motto was] Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise!

One summer I made $50 a week, and my father charged me $25 a week rent. I asked him if that wasn’t a little high. He said that if I could do better than that for food and lodging seven days a week I could move out.

[on the 2008 government bailout saving car companies instead of the restaurant industry] People would rather eat than drive cars!

I never think of access or good will. I just want a good interview. I want guests to be informative and entertaining. I’ve never been concerned about someone’s liking me tomorrow.

I’m from Brooklyn. In Brooklyn, if you say, ‘I’m dangerous’, you’d better be dangerous.

Born: November 19, 1958 in New York City, New York, USA

Scripts usually feature reluctant protagonists who start out in the story as downtrodden or self-doubtful, frustrated with life or love or their professions.

Worked alongside Stephen Colbert and Louis C.K. on the writing staff of The Dana Carvey Show (1996).

Kaufman has a reputation for avoiding interviews with the media, but this is a fallacy, as demonstrated by the scores of interviews you can find online. He has rarely been interviewed on TV; he was interviewed by Charlie Rose at the end of March 2004, and by Stephen Colbert in December of 2008.

When not much is happening and there seems to be nothing you can do to change that, you do wonder. But I am an actor, like it or not. I stuck with it and took what was offered.

The heavy spacesuits are spectacular to look at but very hot. Putting one on was like going from chilly London winter weather to the Bahamas in just minutes.

Jealousy is, I think, the worst of all faults because it makes a victim of both parties.

It was the fashion of the time, still is, to feel that all actors are neurotic, or they would not be actors.

Born: November 19, 1972 in London, England, UK

I started acting when I was 17. I started modeling when I was 13. It helps in the way that you don’t get fazed by cameras too much.

It’s difficult because usually when they cast things, the main characters are Caucasian in absolutely almost every situation.

Married to: Alexandra Hedison (20 April 2014 – present)

[on Taxi Driver (1976)] I think it’s one of the finest films that’s ever been made in America. It’s a statement about America. About violence. About loneliness. Anonymity. Some of the best works are those that have tried to imitate that kind of film, that kind of style. It’s just a classic. I felt when I came home every day that I had really accomplished something.

[on backing Mel Gibson after his 2006 anti-Semitic comments while drunk to a cop he thought was Jewish] Is he an anti-Semite? Absolutely not. But it’s no secret that he has always fought a terrible battle with alcoholism. [Mel] was a shining example of how low you can go when you are young and still pull yourself up. He took his recovery very seriously…

[2011, on The West Wing (1999)] The most impactful role I’ve ever played. Life-changing. A life-changing role, in terms of my notoriety, if you want to call it that, opening doors to meeting the kinds of people I never would’ve met in a million years. Going to Washington and being invited to the White House, going to the Foreign Correspondents’ Dinner. It just opened a million doors and broadened my life so much, and brought so much to me. I was so proud of being a part of a groundbreaking show like that. It was life-changing, and I’ll be forever grateful for it.

[on working with the Coen brothers] I think they have a common theme, even though they work in completely different ways. Specificity of story – so clear with what it is they’re after – and different opinions about how to get there. They’re kind of unanimous in that way. Just to see the Coens at the state they are in with their careers, and how they still have this relentless pursuit to to tell the best version possible, and do all their homework – it’s incredible to have been able to witness.
