I got typecast early in my career as the guy who is very intense. Once you get into a certain mold, people see you that way, as much as it's disproved time and again.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was first starting out, and I was less established, I was really concerned about being typecast.
Typecasting is an interesting thing because, in a way, if you're good at something, you're going to work at that thing. In other ways, you constantly have to change people's opinion of you as one thing, especially if you want to play different roles. You have to shatter that image sometimes.
I do think I tend to be typecast, but it doesn't necessarily bother me.
I have been typecast in my career, although the type changes with the decades.
I never felt that I was typecast, but I was concerned about it. I certainly made an effort to take as many parts in theater and film that resisted that. If you only learn how to act a certain kind of role, it is very difficult to grow as an actor.
I don't believe in being typecast. If I believed it, it probably would have happened to me. You attract what you make.
Being typecast is the enemy of any actor, so if you can try to do something that flips on the head peoples' ideas of who you are or what you can do, that's my biggest aim.
I don't feel particularly typecast because I think I do so many different kinds of things. Whether they're seen or not is another issue.
I don't really worry about being typecast much. I mean, everyone in Hollywood is typecast to a degree.
I've been fortunate enough in my career that I haven't been typecast at all.
