You know, film is the ultimate goal in an actor's career. I mean, I still love TV. I have my feet firmly stamped in it. But my opportunities have been bigger and better.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Working on a film is so great because you have the luxury of more time when you're on a movie than when you're on television.
I've worked in television all my life, but really I've always wanted to work in the movies.
The great thing about film is you start and finish. It's a journey that lasts so long, TV lasts a long time.
I've been blessed to have acting opportunities in movies, television, as well as Broadway, and definitely want to continue to do so.
As an actor, as you grow into where you fit in the industry, you're just trying to find the opportunities, hoping they grow and you get to do more.
Making films has never just been a job to me; it is my life. I have some interests outside of acting - I sing and I've written books, for instance - but acting is what keeps me going: it's what I do; it gives life purpose.
For me, as an actor, going from TV to film was interesting because TV and film are two very different things.
As I got older, with my work, I became aware of the responsibility of film, and I feel one of the best ways I can apply myself as an actor, is to go beyond movie stardom and celebrity.
In the end of the day, you are human. Film is a job which is not an individual job; you have tons and tons of people behind you - you have a whole crew of people working. But, an actor is the face of a film, so you get all of the good things, but you get the bad things, also.
I got into television, and I'm a television guy, so I've never really had a movie career.
