If you star in movies, which I predominantly do, most agents would assume that you don`t want to do a two-day part in a movie. But when you read a script like Casino and you know it is being directed by a genius like Martin Scorcese, you say, hey, I`ll be an extra in this movie. I`ll do anything. I called up Marty and said, `Any part, anytime, anyplace, anywhere.` Because I want to work in good scripts with good directors, and this was a great script with a phenomenal director, it makes the choice really easy. We ended up making a two-scene part into a 10- scene part. Which proves my point. When you`re working with great people and great material, you`re going to milk it. I have learned that you can`t be a champion unless you are in the championship zone. You can`t win unless you`re in the zone, whatever winning might mean. Right now, maybe they are not going to star me in a $100 million movie all by myself the way they would some other actor, but if I`m in that championship zone, I have got a shot.
