My wife who is non-Jewish regrets it all the time that I can say these terrible things about fellow Jews and she can't.
I tend to play characters that I can infuse with certain kinds of humour. Even the baddest guy can be funny in his own particular way. I want the audience to engage with the character on some deeper level so that they leave the cinema still thinking about him.
I had the fortunate experience to play with people from different schools of music. Sam Rivers is from the fundamentalist school of music.
