You know him best for his roles in films like Saving Private Ryan and A Beautiful Mind, or his turn as Chandler’s crazy roommate on Friends, but actor Adam Goldberg has just released his first musical effort, Eros and Omissions, with his band LANDy, on which he also collaborated with the Flaming Lips’ Steven Drozd. Here, Adam chats with RadarOnline.com about his music and why he hopes to avoid the dreaded stigma of being an actor-turned-musician.

RadarOnline.com: You’re known for your acting, but apparently you’ve been writing music for years—tell us a little about your songwriting.

AG: I started writing songs sort of out of the blue in 1993 not long after I had some dreams where I was capable of more than merely using a guitar as piece of furniture. I'm sure I was taught a few chords, but I like the idea that I dreamed I was singing and playing guitar and then it came to pass.
