lauradi7dwI've been a fan of his for years, have seen lots of movies he's done (some not so good) and watched "House" for a while because he was on it. Saw him on Broadway in "The Violet Hour," a not
terrific play with some good performances. At any rate, there's a really fine interview with him at

My favorite bit, as someone who really can't do puzzles:
Q: How close are you to doing the Sunday crossword puzzle in under an hour?
A: Nowhere near. My dad does it. I've done the Sunday crossword, but I look up and it's dark out. I think, well, dammit, did I really need to spend nine hours doing this? I could have gone for a walk, or finished the book I was reading. Anything over an hour for me I think is a little indulgent and a little bit obsessive. I like to do a puzzle. I like it to be tough, but more than an hour, I feel, what am I doing? My dad has told me my whole life, that the more you do it, the better you get. I have not found that to be the case. If you give me an hour I'll get a third of it done, but that's it. I've never improved. You're as smart as you are, I guess.
