His diverse work on stage and screen has earned him numerous accolades including an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, as well as nominations for two Primetime Emmy Awards and two Tony Awards.
Ahead of his 82nd birthday on Monday, March 31, the Academy Award winner spoke with People Magazine exclusively about the second season of Severance and what's next for his career. So, when it comes to his future aspirations, he says: "I'm doing what I've always done."
"People think that actors make a lot of choices. I'm not sure that they do. I certainly don't," he explains. "I take the job, the next best thing, because that's what I do. I go to work."
"So what comes next? I have no idea, but I never have. Generally, when I finish a job, I don't know what's coming next," he continues.
