As an actor, it's fun to play guys who aren't just locked into a male pattern, but a lot of guys you're asked to play are fairly macho and have a certain rigid standard they're living by.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A lot of male actors are method actors and they become the characters which they both were.
It's always a good idea to go up for the male roles. You go up against a bunch of beefy guys, and the casting director then feels smart for taking you on, like he's the one who thought outside the box.
What we consider typical of the male is a question I ask myself quite often - it's relevant to my life as an actor and as a man.
Just like how male actors get to play varied characters, I would also like to play characters that people don't normally see female characters portraying on screen.
I don't want to be involved with an actor because I know how they are. I've had problems in the past being with guys who haven't had any success or haven't made as much money, and it's very uncomfortable.
I love working with male actors, and I think there's a tendency to write really interesting characters that would work solely alongside men where they would be in a man's world and have to deal with that, and it creates a lot of interesting storylines. For me, it's kind of circumstantial, but I definitely enjoy it.
Male actors get into production, share profit, and they don't take money at times but are involved in some capacity which is economical and resourceful. These things suit them; as they have made a place for themselves, they have command over the box office.
Some actors, they have to carry this macho, very masculine element to them, but it's difficult for me to understand that.
Especially in comedies, I think a lot of time the female characters are there to provide a balance for guys.
When you're just an actor, maybe not the top of the list guys, you get constant rejection and it's fun.
