Personal Quotes
There's always been a lot of misunderstanding about Lando's character. I used to
pick up my daughter from elementary school and get into arguments with little
children who would accuse me of betraying Han Solo.
I tell my son Corey that the greatest teacher is the teacher who says, "Don't
follow me, follow yourself. Because within you there is that kingdom, that life
that force.".Failure's not a bad thing. It builds character. It makes you stronger.
Originally I planned on starting a teapot collection. I really like them.

Personal Quotes
I must say that some things some men are born to do. I think I was born to kick ass.
My approach to the work is the same, whether I had the lead or a supporting role. I
consider myself a character actor in the true sense of the word. Unless I'm doing my
autobiography, I'm playing a character.
The only difference between working on a huge-budget film and a lesser-budget film
is the quality of lunch and dinner.For me, acting was a way of releasing all of this stuff that I had inside - and a
way for me to tell the stories of the people I knew, so that their spirit could live
through me.Hair color: Bald; Eye color: Brown; Height: 6' 0" / 1.83cm;
