Elias Koteas
Canadian Actor
I play guys who are willing to go really far. If the dung really hits the fan, I don't know if I could walk the talk. But anyone who isn't willing to die for his convictions isn't worth living. My characters, no matter how demented they are, they have their convictions.
Quote examples
Jerry Saltz
American Critic

Quote examples
Rex Tillerson
American Businessman
