A biography for Anthony Mackiehasn’t been written yet.
“Everybody knows when you've got a role in a Spike Lee movie, you're gonna blow up. But I happen to be the only person who's had the lead in the two Spike Lee movies nobody saw.”
“With all the movies I've done, I still get recognized from my episode of 'Law & Order' more than anything else. It never fails.”
“The stage is my first love.”
“Do you want to be an actor, or do you want to be a celebrity? I made that decision when I went to Juilliard. I wanted to be an actor. So, if I get the opportunity to be an actor and do some cool, fun and interesting projects, I'm going to do that.”
“I'm not Josh Brolin or Ryan Gosling. They're more noir than I.”
“I enjoy where I am and I don't have a problem with being Steve Buscemi, Stanley Tucci, Don Cheadle, or Jeffrey Wright. They're not the lead of every movie they're in, but every time you see them they're really good.”
“I got a job as soon as I graduated from school. I always wanted to bartend because I love listening to people and how awful their lives are.”
“I went to school and made good grades and went to college. So I was afforded an opportunity through my parents' hard work that most people don't have.”
“Instead of becoming an engineer like my brother, I moved to New York to be an actor.”
“I did this movie with Spike Lee called 'Sucker Free City,' and that would have to be my favorite role by far. It was just so much fun to work with Spike and shoot in San Francisco.”
“I like movies. Movies have afforded me a modicum of luxuries. The thing about the movies is, if you're bad in a movie, you're bad forever.”
“I would love to be a superhero.”
