"This is good — a naked man making up his mind to smile or to frown, like an actor," he said, describing the figurine he had just won, per Entertainment Weekly. "I will treasure this, but never more than what I treasured, that I used to keep in my wallet, which was my SAG card that I earned in 1991. It made me feel like I belonged. We're actors; we all want to belong a tribe. If you told that guy back then I'd be standing here right now, I wouldn't have believed you."
