Happy Birthday: Sam Rockwell

Sam Rockwell

Born: November 5, 1968 in Daly City, California, USA

[on what he would do if he wasn’t an actor]: I have no skills. There’s absolutely nothing I know how to do. So I’d be fucked otherwise. I’m very fortunate to be an actor. I know I’m very lucky to be doing this. And though I’m not sure where I’m going to end up — whether it’s in major films, independents, or theater work — I’m just happy getting to do roles that are really juicy, meaningful and allow me to keep adventuring the way I have been.

[on his part in The Green Mile (1999)]: I guess Wild Bill is a disgusting, racist, pedophile freak. But I’d been wanting to play a psycho, a juicy one. I saw him as Huck Finn meets Satan. The kind of part Gary Oldman or John Malkovich might play. It’s just a cool part.
