Have you ever read/heard Dominic say something in an interview and wondered what he meant?

Acting chops.........Does that mean acting experience?

Chewing the scenery.........maybe an actor who goes over the top?

The idea of someone having "chops" indicates ability. It comes from music. When you say someone has "chops", you're saying that he can really play. Miles Davis, for example, has some serious chops.
