Personal Quotes
Yeah , I didn't want to be here , but I didn't want to kill myself . I just wanted to push
a button and disappear....I think I hadn't left the house for four or five months , and I
was sitting in the closet, sleeping in the closet for some reason, and I was in a bad place
and I just remember I was thinking, 'Oh, man, if I do this, and then I looked at my dog
Lowjack, and he made a sound, like a little almost human sound. I don't have kids, the
dogs became everything to me. The dog was looking at me going, 'Who's going to take
care of me ?'All I am hoping for is to be able to work - I think my best work is still ahead
of me - I think all that I have been through in the last several years have only
made me a better, more interesting actor.

Personal Quotes
" The Lord of the Rings " is a mythology, it is a fairy tale, it's an adventure story.
It never happened. Except somewhere in our hearts.Before acting, I wanted to become a journalist. I also toyed with the idea of
being a chef - but that's only when people asked me what I wanted to be. In fact
I always used to say I wanted to be an actor, but I didn't ever believe that I
was good enough to be come one.The thing you notice here after America is how refreshingly ordinary people look
because they haven't had their chin wrapped around the back of their ears.Hair color: Gray; Eye color: Blue; Height: 5' 11" / 1.80cm;
