"I'm not 6-foot-1," Adam Goldberg says when he's asked what he'd like people to know about him. "That's on IMDB," he adds, "but, actually, I don't know why I want to dispel that myth. I like that.

Adam Goldberg has made a nice living interpreting characters for film and television, building a respectable profile with roles in such projects as "Dazed and Confused," "Saving Private Ryan" and the 2003 indie "The Hebrew Hammer."

Imagine that you've stayed up late watching a triple bill of Federico Fellini's "8 1/2 ," Woody Allen's "Stardust Memories" and David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive," scarfed down too much Thai takeout and had a fight with your significant other.
