D. B. Sweeney

I know some black actresses who have to wait every 19 films for a role. I can be cast in practically every one as a young white male. ”

I think it's particularly stupid that filmmakers have traditionally said, 'Yeah, I like baseball, but the movie's not going to be about the intricacies of the game.' I mean, you wouldn't cast an overweight guy with stubble if you were doing a ballet film. ”

A producer wouldn't think of making a film about ballet dancers without using real dancers, but they will cast actors who have never held a bat in baseball films. ”

I had cooked a lot in restaurants, in Rocky Point and on golf courses on Long Island, and my mother said, 'Be a chef,' and my dad said, 'Be a lawyer.' But instead, I auditioned for N.Y.U.'s Tisch School of the Arts. ”

What really makes it fun for an actor is when the script is good. ”

I've seen people who stink, but the film editor shows them just where they didn't stink. But if you're empty and manipulative on stage, it's clear. ”

I'd love to do a movie like 'Bullitt.' ”

I would love to do another hockey movie. There are a lot of people in Hollywood looking for the right hockey script. ”

I love Vanna White as much as the next guy. ”

You always love to fantasize you'll get your dream role. ”
