There are always leading characters. There are always complex characters; there are very rewarding plays with great directors and tremendous playwrights, yeah. I've done a lot of things with theater that I'm very, very proud of.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always thought of myself as a character actor, even though I've played some leading-man roles.
I always thought of myself as a character actor. I never thought of myself as a leading man.
I think I'm a character actress at heart, and I think my work is character work for the most part. I'm not the lead of any films - which is not to say that I wouldn't ever want to be; it is just to say that hasn't been my path.
It's the persona that makes you a leading actor. A leading actor has something extra that's fun to watch. But it isn't usually about acting.
I'm an actor. I'll take a lead if it's offered. The really good actors can fill a character, no matter what the role is. A good leading man is a character actor; a good character actor can be a leading man.
I'm a character actress. It doesn't mean I can't do leading roles; I don't think of myself as a leading lady.
There's always something more to be accomplished with a character. Theater is a human experience. There's nothing shellacked or finished off about it. I guess that's why it always draws me back.
In real life, every person is the leading man or woman. We don't think of ourselves as supporting or character actors.
I think every leading man wants to be a character actor, and every character actor wants to be a leading man.
It would drive me crazy if I picked roles with the goal of being a leading man. You never know what you're getting into when you sign onto a project, and more times than not, the characters that are close to the leading man are more interesting and more fun to play.
