It's interesting to explore the darker side, but the hero piece is interesting as well. It's like choosing between comedy or drama. I like to do both.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm always drawn towards the darker stuff, because I think it's just a lot more interesting. But it's also good fun doing the comedy, and I think that's why 'Misfits' has been great in that way, as you get a really good balance. I think it's best to try and do everything as an actor, really.
Comedy, drama, Westerns, sci-fi... it's all fine if the story's compelling and the character is interesting to me. I do like action a lot.
I do like playing the darker side of life but as much as the lighter side as well. They all resonate out of the same place, which is that everyone has a story to tell. Depending on their upbringing and their history, it determines who they are as an adult. My job is to take the role from there.
I seem to gravitate toward the dark side of things when it comes to directing. I love action, but I love the drama as well.
I find myself gravitating towards drama. It interests me. In the books I read, the paintings I like, it's always the darker stuff.
I think that every piece has its challenges. I love going back and forth between one and the other. I'll always pick a comedy over a drama.
Sometimes it's less about the character and more about the story for me. I'll play a rock in the background if I think the story is fantastic and I can be a part of it somehow. That's what I look for.
In general, I am more interested in the darker characters when I watch or read stories.
I love intricate plotting and exciting twists, but I realize more that people enjoy a good story in a simple, focused way.
The more conflict and contrast you have with a character makes it more interesting.
