I'm a character actor, but I look like a leading man.

I played Romeo when I was younger, and I think I did a couple kind Romeo-like parts after that, and I kind of went, 'I mustn't do this again. I must always choose something that I don't know if I'm a good enough actor to play.'

I always thought of myself as a character actor. I never thought of myself as a leading man.

I am the actor that I am. I do what I do. I've been a 'leading man' playing romantic leads for a long time now.

I was a stage actor for 20 years or so; I was leading men in classical things. 'Shakespeare,' you know. And now, I never play leading men. I'm that kamikaze comic that comes from the left, turns the table over, and leaves, or the hyper-intelligent yuppie scumbag if it's a drama.

I don't feel like a romantic lead; I guess I feel more like a character actor.

I look in the mirror and say to myself, Can it be you once played Romeo?
