Quote:
'I've had a lazy career, sometimes one film a year, sometimes none. I'm walking around in the street and doing this other thing, living, that I'm much more interested in. I just do some acting on the side.'
Trivia:
Spader has a photographic memory. He won Emmys for playing the same character in both The Practice and Boston Legal.
