But protagonists are protagonists and heroes are heroes.

Character development is conflict.

It's all about exploring the more unpredictable aspects in the character, not just fighting people.

It's always appealing to play a character that has to overcome himself as well as an obstacle. It makes the drama so much deeper.

Everyone has faced something; some struggles are more heroic than others.

Clearly, I'm drawn to characters with inner conflicts.

Basically, every character I've ever played, I've based entirely on internal conflict. And I love doing that, because I think it's very human.

To me, any character that is conflicted inside as well as outside of themselves is always a better role to play.

The best characters to play are the ones who have deep internal conflict.

There has to be a protagonist who has to overcome challenges, and there will be a race to finish.
