...people do things the way they do them, why they walk a certain way, talk a certain way, or have a tick. I've always tried to take any character that I've played and tried to find the beauty in him, even if it's the most arch-villian role ever written.

Essentially, easy winter walking depends upon a good neighbor policy of shoveling sidewalks immediately after a snowfall. In chilly New England a quick job in this respect alone can prevent the formation of an icy coating which will remain until the thaw...
