Look, every actor has a different way of preparing or creating a character and yeah, we all are from different backgrounds.

I feel like people assume if a character is very different than you, that means it's difficult to get into their head or into their skin.

For film and games, there is now a fantastic method of actors portraying characters which don't necessarily look like themselves. And yet you've still got the heart and soul of the performance.

Before the film begins shooting, in your head, you need to be the character. You have to convince yourself somehow.

That's what acting is about - for me, at least - tackling different personas and characters.

You can be, like, a totally different person on camera, and it's fun. You can take on another character, and it's awesome.

I see myself as a character actor, and I've always been drawn to playing characters that are different from myself because acting is escapism for me. I've never been that comfortable playing people that are like me.

As an actor, you're always playing different people, so you yourself are always kind of going through an identity crisis.

I think as an actor... I don't like to compare a character to anybody else, just because I respect other people's work, and I want that character to have his own identity.
