I often talk with other actors about that time when you've just finished a job, because I think you do take on the characteristics of some of the characters you play.

Philip Roth has made a cottage industry of unlikable characters, but compared with Mickey Sabbath, the furious and profane protagonist of 'Sabbath's Theater,' Roth's earlier creations seem like Winnie the Pooh.
