    • Andre's decision to become an actor defied his parents' wishes. They wanted him to have a career in engineering which is what he was studying at college.
    • Andre met future wife Amy in New York City, where they were in acting school in the '80s. They met at a bar. Andre though she had great legs. Amy thought, 'here is this engaging man introducing himself'. Her friends found his presence intimidating and wondered about this serious man in her life.
    • Andre lives in New Jersey. He has been quoted saying that he does not want to raise his children in California as he doesn't want to live in a place where the business is everything. He has said that he likes bumping elbows with people and likes being east of the Mississippi.

    • Andre: (on being able to do things he always wanted to do in between movies, instead of seating by the phone and waiting for it to ring) So I took a bike trip to Kansas in May. I got on my bike one day, packed up my junk, waived goodbye to my wife and five weeks later I'm in Kansas. Sometimes I was recognized, but most people didn't believe it was me. It was like, 'What are you doing here on a bike in the middle of nowhere?'.
    • Andre: To me, the psychology behind the character is critical. So I work very hard to get into the mind of the man that I'm going to be playing, because number one, I want to understand why he's doing what he's doing. It's essential, it's absolutely essential.
    • Andre: (on what attracted him to The Mist) I read The Mist before I read the adaptation. I knew that Frank Darabont had done it. I had seen both The Green Mile as well as The Shawshank Redemption so I knew he was quite a fine director. I knew he had some insight of Stephen King's work and then I read The Mist, the novella to see what Frank had drawn on and whether it was true to Stephen King's work. Looking at the character, which is not a big character in the film, I was surprised that was this much publicity on my part. I knew I wanted to be a part of this film because I sensed that it would be special. It has all the pedigree of Stephen King, whom I am a great admirer of and Frank Darabont, who has demonstrated time and time again that he is a good director and I wanted to be a part of it.
