There are so many roles on TV that I don't covet. I see them, and I'm glad I don't have to play them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For a long time I did not want to do television because I did not want to get stuck playing the same person. I wanted the ongoing challenge of a variety of roles.
I don't like to leave my children for long periods of time. It's made me more picky about roles that are close, especially on television.
The great thing about TV is that it's so fluid. When you bring in someone for one quick role and they're fantastic, you can bring them back.
One of the great things about doing series television is the guest actors that you can have come on and play around with.
I've always just gone with the best role, and I don't care if it's in theater, film or television.
There are fewer and fewer roles that I haven't done already, or archetypes that I haven't played, and to break out of that box, the most interesting stuff is television.
And the actors tend not to want to watch themselves very often. I'm one of those guys.
You might see some of the movies that I'm in where there are shades of drama or whatever, but for the most part, I don't get offered serious roles.
I don't think there are that many awesome roles out there, whether we're talking about movies or TV.
I gravitate to the roles, not necessarily television or film. It's just the fact that, for me, the most interesting roles have been in television.
