The 74-year-old acting veteran - who cheered on Felicity Huffman five years after the college admissions scandal - appeared Brett Goldstein's Films To Be Buried With podcast on Wednesday where he took at aim film and television.
He said: 'I swear to God, you kill one person, there's nothing more dramatic than that.
'You kill 18 people, it's just porn. The only thing you can do to make that more dramatic is kill 18 more.'

Emmy-winner Goldstein chimed in proposing an idea for a series as he said: 'You take three episodes to have you fall in love with one of the major characters and then shoot him.
'But don't write him off the show. And every week, you can see what a bullet does to a human body. You can see how it wrecks his marriage... the deep, dark depressions.'
William added that voicing his opinion regarding the 'portrayal of violence' within the industry has 'cost me a lot of work.'
This comes days after he proved a supportive husband by cheering on wife Felicity Huffman as she returns to television five years after the college admissions scandal.
The Fargo vet gushed about the actress's new gig on the second season of Criminal Minds: Evolution during a candid interview with ET on Thursday.
'It was great! I went to visit her on the set a couple of times... and she had a great time,' the actor said of Huffman's experience.
'I think she did a great job, too. I'm really glad she's working,' he continued.
The Emmy-winning star added that the pair have always connected over their love for acting, noting, 'We give each other each other’s scripts and we give each other notes. We somehow make it work.'

As Felicity gears up for her primetime comeback, William steps into the Planet of the Apes franchise for the first time with the latest installment, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
'I saw the Roddy McDowall version, I saw the first one, in the [theaters] when I was young,' he recalled of the 1968 original. 'To be a part of it is really flattering and it's gratifying.'
The Desperate Housewives star, 61, who served 11 days in prison for fraud in 2019, will guest star as 'Dr. Jill Gideon' in the second season of Criminal Minds spin-off Evolution.
Gideon is a brilliant biological psychiatrist, who agrees to help the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit investigate a murderous conspiracy theory.
Per a synopsis: 'Jill is reluctant to return to the bureau’s elite team given her complicated history with David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) and her dead ex-husband, Jason Gideon (previously played by original series star Mandy Patinkin), but soon realizes her specific skill set could help them uncover another clue to the elusive Gold Star mystery.'
In December, Felicity broke her silence on the Varsity Blues scandal that saw her spend 11 days in jail after bribing college officials $15,000 to fudge her daughter's SAT scores, saying she felt she had 'no option' but to break the law.
She faced the consequences of her actions, shelling out $30,000 in fines and serving an 11-day stint behind bars following her 2019 fraud charges.
Her involvement in the scandal landed her among a cohort of affluent parents ensnared in the controversy.

Similarly, actress Lori Loughlin found herself incarcerated for her part in securing USC admissions for both her daughters through illicit means.
In her first public remarks outside of the courtroom, Felicity told ABC that she thought it was 'a joke' when FBI agents turned up at her mansion to arrest her.
'They came into my home, they woke my daughters up at gunpoint - again, nothing new to the black and brown community - then they put my hands behind my back and handcuffed me.
'I asked if I could get dressed. I thought it was a hoax. I literally turned to one of the FBI people in a flak jacket and a gun and I go "is this a joke?"
Huffman said she regretted the scheme but felt she had no choice at the time because Sophia, who she previously said has a learning disability, would not have been accepted otherwise.
Now, Sophia is studying drama at Carnegie Mellon.
'It felt like I had to give my daughter a chance at a future. And so it was sort of like my daughter's future, which meant I had to break the law,' she said.
'I think I feel the people I owe a debt and an apology to is the academic community and to the students and the families that sacrifice and work really hard to get to where they are going legitimately.'

The star played Lynette Scavo in Desperate Housewives which ran from 2004-2012
Huffman is speaking out now to highlight A New Way of Life, an organization that helps formerly incarcerated women reintegrate into society.
'I want to use my experience and what I've gone through and the pain to bring something good,' she said.
Huffman and husband William H. Macy hired Singer to help Sophia improve her scores in order to get into college.
She claims the scheme was not obvious at first, but became plain when Singer told them Sophia would not be accepted into any schools without greasing the wheels.
'After a year, he started to say your daughter is not going to get into any of the colleges that she wants to.
'And I believed him. And so when he slowly started to present the criminal scheme, it seems like - and I know this seems crazy at the time - but that was my only option to give my daughter a future.'
Sophia was unaware that her parents had paid for someone to alter her test answers after she completed the SATS.
The scheme involved Singer paying off a handful of discreet SAT test supervisors who would inflate students' scores once they had completed the exam.
On the day of the SAT test, she said Sophia was nervous and asking if they could go for ice cream afterwards.
'She was going, 'Can we get ice cream afterwards?'" Huffman recalls. "I'm scared about the test.
Actress Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giuannulli were also arrested and spent time in jail
'What can we do that's fun? And I kept thinking, turn around, just turn around.
'And to my undying shame, I didn't,' Huffman said.
Loughlin and husband Mossimo Giuliani had their daughters masquerade as sports stars, propping them up on rowing machines to fudge applications that presented them as athletes.
Rick Singer, the mastermind, was sentenced to three and a half years in prison in January of this year.
