| 1 | When I had my full head of hair, I was playing a lot of bad guys, but sometimes I was losing them to the guys who looked more like they did heroin or whatever. So I shaved it off for a bit. My first job out in the show 'Crash and Burn' I played a priest. And ironically enough I've been playing good guys across the board. |
