That`s why I take on a variety of roles. I`ve played everything from a gay dancer in Cruising (1980) to Dutch Schultz in The Cotton Club (1984). James Remar is a student of life. I`m expressing myself by acting. I`m learning about myself and making a living. I hope to do much more of it, so I can contribute my share to the world.
