Playing big, heroic characters with heart is always a lot of fun. I enjoy making movies like that, and a lot of people love to live vicariously through those characters.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that always makes it fun, trying to create a heroic character and putting your own twist on it and injecting your own personality into it.
I would rather portray the hero if it's a really great film. All my favorite fictional film characters are heroes, such as in 'The Last of the Mohicans' and 'Robin Hood.'
I think you can always find interesting, complex and fascinating characters to play in different kinds of movies. It's in your hands.
I love playing characters that are bigger than life and maybe have a darker side that they present to the world. Those are good characters.
I don't consider roles like in 'Die Hard' what I do. This is like a hobby. It's fun. I had a good time. And I love being in a movie that people actually go see. But it's about things getting blown up. It's not about great character development.
A lot of the characters I've played before are heroic or invincible in some ways and not tuned into fear and anxiety and pain.
I'm a character actor at heart.
I was never built to play the hero. Physically or emotionally... And they're not as rewarding to play. At least for me.
I prefer playing characters that are going through turmoil. Most movie characters are just in service to the story.
As an actor, I've been all over the map, but since I've moved to Hollywood, people tend to cast me in these more imposing characters, which is actually really fun for me. I've always been way more attracted to playing that than the hero.
