- When asked in a 2019 interview what he would like to be remembered for, Polaha replied: “So I’m an actor, and if an audience is going to remember me, I’d kind of like to be in the same boat as Jimmy Stewart, Tom Hanks…these guys who are really great at their craft but who’ve also made people feel really good on a human level. Even Audrey Hepburn was somebody who – wouldn’t it be great to have these amazing successes as an actor so that aspect of your life was a given, but then the stories also include how kind they are. Just what good people they were. And I would love that to be my legacy.”
