Characters actors don't usually get noticed until they're about 38 or so.
Larry Drake
I moved to Dallas in 1975 and stayed there until 1980. That's when I decided it was time to move to L.A.
I studied drama.
I don't want my life to be about a house and a car.
As an actor, what I can do is tell the truth. At least, I hope I can tell the truth - a dramatic truth, but still an honest portrayal.
If I get too type-cast, that's the worst possible scenario.
Love is a wonderful thing that one misses.
The imperfections in my family made me learn to deal with things on my own and solve problems for myself.
My parents did their best - that earns a lot of forgiveness. But they say children grow up in spite of their parents, and I think I did.
I've done fine in this business, but I've never made quite enough money to have a family or have many options.
I can't be a role model. I just can't be.
I usually play big and mean, big and stupid, or big and funny.
