Daniel von Bargen's Quotes
- I don't necessarily like going to the movies. It's a little nerve-wracking to see your head the size of a house. I'm getting used to it, but there's still a little uneasiness when you walk into the theater and think "Oh, God, am I going to suck?'
- [on his role in Seinfeld (1989)] When you start becoming a commodity because of your face or your stature or whatever, those opportunities become fewer and fewer. So it's nice to get on a comedy and have people go, "You're funny!'"
- [on being typecast as an authority figure] Thank God for the white male power structure.
