I have a lot of variety within me, and the dream role, I think, is actually a compilation of parts that express different aspects of my persona and personal interests.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If your dream is to tell stories, interesting stories, play interesting people, that's the bottom line. The people that I play have to be extraordinary.
I've been quite lucky in that I've managed to tick off a few of my dream roles, really. Beyond that, you wait for the next script to come in that will have the dream role that you don't know exists yet, I suppose.
Judge of your natural character by what you do in your dreams.
All the characters in my books are imagined, but all have a bit of who I am in them - much like the characters in your dreams are all formed by who you are.
You never get the role you have worked so hard for, but the dream role, the one who gives you joy, money and maybe even honor, that one just falls into your lap.
It's what I've always wanted to do and each part you play gets you closer and closer to the roles that you dreamed of playing.
My criteria when looking for a role is that I will do anything that stands the chance of succeeding on the level it is intended to. After that, if it's a part I can do something personal with.
I don't have any dream role. I give my 100% to every character I play, and when the film clicks, it automatically becomes a dream role.
Every role I do is a dream role for me because I can't imagine I'm doing it.
As for dream roles, they usually just speak to you. I just crave complex characters.
