Everybody that's an actor leaves it for a while 'cause they ain't got a job. I come now to tell you for what I am brought here to die, and to give you an account of my faith, which I shall do as in the sight of the living God before whom I am shortly to stand. Delaware's firefighters put their lives in jeopardy every day in an effort to keep families safe. During three decades, along all the highways of my youth, Frank had always been there for me. I think the reason working-class people don't write books is because they are encouraged to believe that only certain people are permitted to write books. I like to be able to play a character and act out a lot of things which I can't or don't do in my normal everyday life.
