I was born in Missouri, but I was raised in Detroit. One of my stock and trades is accents.
I'm a Jack of all trades character actor, really.
My purist comedy friends accuse me of being a Jack of all trades and master of none.
I have managed to infuriate the bank bosses; acquire a fatwa from the revolutionary guards of the trades union movement; frighten the 'Daily Telegraph' with a progressive graduate payment; and upset very rich people who are trying to dodge British taxes. I must be doing something right.
