I play tons of authority figures, whether it's the dad or the cop or the boss. I think it's a combination of how I look, who I am.

I may not raise my voice a lot, I may not be very flashy, but I like to interact with people.

Some people take me as being a rowdy, honky-tonk hero type. Some people see me as a quiet person. I guess I can be either one, you know, at any moment.

My voice is who I am, who I was when I was 3, and who I am going to be when I am 90 years old. When I hit the stage and people do not know who I am, they automatically assume, before I open my mouth, I am going to sing a Bob Marley song!

There's always a version of me who is the narrator. And I make myself look better than other people.

I'm developing more stuff in my voice, more Nick Swardson. It's me as myself in a sense and kind of in my voice, no accent no affectation. I'm growing into my own persona.

Trying to give an individual a voice has always kind of been my mission in my life. As an actor, I've always seen that was something that needed to be done. You need to find that voice inside of you so that you can stand up and be who you really are.

There aren't as many roles for people who look like me, and it was always complicated when it came to casting my parents. But now I couldn't be more grateful that I have a different look.

Your voice is your tool and represents you. It's very important to have a good voice where you can be understood.

I always look so different in different roles, people are never quite sure. Which is the way I like it.
