Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Horatio: Eventually, I want to be known for more than 'the funny guy'. I know it's a stretch to say that I can take a romantic lead opposite a Nicole Kidman, or a Julia Roberts, but maybe I could score a role with one of those chicks from America's Next Top Model, Tyra's got them doing all kinds of things.
-
Horatio: Auditioning for Lorne Michaels was surreal for me. I was standing there thinking that 'this is the guy who found Belushi', and almost turned around and walked out. Thankfully I composed myself and gave it all I had, and he laughed.
-
Horatio: I have always found myself to be a funny guy, it just took awhile for the rest of the world to catch on! When I was talking to a group of friends in school, I would be sizing them up, their quirks, their accents, their speech patterns, and when I was ready...I would let them have it. I lost a few friends that way, but ya know what they say, 'forget them if they can't take a joke'.
