I think penske read the same interview.

I just like Sutherland. He plays himself in most roles, and I happen to like his salty, kind-of-depressed air. This goes a long way to explaining why I find him so consistently entertaining regardless of the vehicle. I guess I like most actors for this reason. Except Pacino. He plays himself too well.
