I think for a lot of people that had seen me do 'Snabba Cash', after watching 'The Killing,' I think they got a sense that I could do different kinds of characters.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In many films, as many different characters, I've killed many different people.
If I was a bad character that got away with murder like we see on other shows, I do not think I would like it because that sends a message that you can do these horrible things and never pay for it.
I like for there to be a moral, for the character to have gotten something out of the experience.
If a character dies, you get to do a big, juicy death scene. But the flip side is you're out of the sequel, which is where the real money is.
In some ways, what I learned is that you can take a character and breathe with them, and it's up to the audience to interpret rather than you putting moral stamp on the character.
I think you can always find interesting, complex and fascinating characters to play in different kinds of movies. It's in your hands.
You spend so much time writing a character the way I did with Buddy Baker and then Green Arrow that you start to care about them. And you almost think of them as people, you know?
And as much as I love the gritty characters, I like to play all sorts of characters. I'm an actor. I love to create.
I'm a Jack of all trades character actor, really.
I think you can find yourself on one of these shows for a long period of time and think that all you'll ever be able to do is that character. Certainly people think of you that way.
