IZZARD: 'I'M THE NEXT HOPKINS'

British comedian EDDIE IZZARD wants his career to follow the same path as acting legend SIR ANTHONY HOPKINS. The cross-dressing actor, who stars in new hit TV show Riches, wants to focus on serious acting roles and win the respect of his peers just like Hopkins. He says, "I'd love to get my dramatic career in the same place as where his is. It's a tall order but I just like the way he's done it."
