(on the simplicity of his acting) I think that came over the years, watching actors I love, wondering what it is about their performance that's disturbing to me. There's a series of etchings of a bull that Picasso did. There are like 40 of them, and the first one is a very detailed drawing. The bull has its face, its body, its muscles. In the next one, there's a little piece taken off, and the next one has something else off, and finally, the last one is a line drawing, and it's as full and complete as the first one. I am attracted to spare.

He was awarded the 1993 Drama Logue Award for Outstanding Performance for "The Substance of Fire" at the Mark Taper Forum Theatre in Los Angeles, California.
He is sometimes confused with actor Joel Grey and vica versa. Due to this, Grey guest-starred on Alias (2001) as a man brainwashed into thinking he was the evil terrorist-spy Arvin Sloane, who was played by Rifkin.
Appeared in two movies in 2002 with animals for titles, Tadpole (2000) and Dragonfly (2002). Coincidentally, he'd previously appeared in the film Wolf (1994) as well.
