"When I was first starting out in this business, I was really quite uncomfortable in my own skin. And luckily the good lord provided these roles almost in chronological order. First, Quest for Fire, which was mask acting, then Name of the Rose, which was mask acting, and then Beauty and the Beast, all happened during a period of my life where I was more comfortable behind a mask than I would’ve been naked, like this. It freed me up. It made me freer because it was no longer me. It was a transformed version of me, which was very abstract in relation to my own persona. So it made acting more possible and more freeing. These days I’m in my late 50s and I’m quite comfortable in my own skin and I no longer need the mask as much as I used to. So it becomes, ‘How much pleasure am I going to take in playing a masked character?’ And when the character is Hellboy, the answer is, ‘Man, I’m sure there’s a whole lot of other guys that wish they were me.’ And this is a real honor to play this character because the heart of the character is truly mythic, truly legendary and epic in scope, and he’s a phenomenal character to spend time with."
DH: My favorite script of all time, I just read: "The Shrine of Talus" -- Which is Brad Wright. (Ed: Since this interview, the episode has been renamed simply "The Shrine.") He's just written this script. And it's good to have Brad.
It is truly ... it's the script. It's the one that is going to blow everyone away. It's unbelievable. It's like a wicked acting piece. Whether I'm supposed to say this or not, Kate [Hewlett, "Jeannie Miller"] is coming back. We've got "Jeannie" back. And it's ... just brutal. It's like total tear-jerker. It's gonna be neat.
And for McKay, it's fantastic because there's this whole deterioration thing happening. And it's just ... it is the one, without a doubt, that I'm most looking forward to right now. Andy [Mikita] is going to direct it, too. So he's very excited about it, as well.
