My central strength as an actor is the fact that I’m 6 foot 3. A certain power emanates from my size, juxtaposed with the fact that I try to find an element of sensitivity in every character I play. People enjoy seeing that because it goes against what we’re led to expect as far as the way men are supposed to be – macho and all that. – Jimmy Smits
