I've played a lot of younger, more coming-of-age roles as well as roles that aren't such an imposing physical presence.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have been really lucky to play roles younger than myself for most of my career.
Age is the first limitation on roles that I've ever had to encounter, and I hit that awhile ago.
I can't worry about whether roles will be there for me when I'm older.
The interesting roles have only come since I got into my 30s. But I didn't know that was going to happen.
It hasn't been until the last couple years that I've started playing close to my age. But it's fun playing the younger roles because it takes you back to the teen years.
I've always played characters that were younger than myself.
I want to do amazing roles fit for my age in 30 years. I'm sure I'll be less popular and have less offers then, but I think I'll be able to do act well for my age at the time.
I can't worry about whether roles will be there for me when I'm older. They're there now, and I'm just not going to panic.
I am happy being able to play roles with people my age because once you do something really mature there is no turning back.
Character roles definitely age better than your ingenues. You don't get to keep doing that.
