Most of the time when I receive a script, it says something like 'Rosenberg is the fat, slovenly Mayor, who doesn't want the kids to use the skateboard park', or 'Stein is a pompous, rotund attorney, imposing to all.' It would be so freeing to get a script where my character is simply described as 'A Man'.

大多数时候，当我收到一份手稿时，上面写着类似这样的话:“罗森博格是一个肥胖、邋遢的市长，他不想让孩子们使用滑板公园”，或者“斯坦是一个自负、肥胖的律师，强加于所有人”。“如果能得到一个剧本，把我的角色简单地描述为‘一个男人’，那就太自由了。”
