Often plays lawmen

Frequently cast by Lawrene Kasdan and Kevin Costner.

I've flown jets, driven speed boats, been fast with a gun, raced through a river on horseback, shot the bad guy, been the bad guy, operated on people, been a crazy S.O.B., and seduced some extremely fine women. All in all, it ain't a bad life. [on being an actor]

...I always feel grounded and very much at home when I look up Congress Avenue and see the Capitol Building. I joke to my wife that it might be my office someday. I think she lives in fear that I might actually be serious. [on being the Governor of Texas]

[On the idea of running for political office] That'd be "special".

How's that working for you?
