There's a character that I play onstage, and I can't let him loose in the supermarket when I'm buying my beans on toast.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Being in a band didn't buy me my beans on toast!
I think it's an actor's responsibility to change every time. Not only for himself and the people he's working with, but for the audience. If you just go out and deliver the same dish every time... it's meat loaf again... you'd get bored. I'd get bored.
I'm not the kind of actor that would know what my character had for breakfast last Tuesday.
I think I may have become an actor to hide from myself. You can escape into a character.
When I'm acting in TV or movies, I'm a character. But when I'm doing music, I'm Trevor Jackson.
When I tried to play characters that strayed from who I am it ended in disaster. People didn't expect me in comedies or musicals.
When I work in the theater, you know you'll get this almost devotional, religious experience where you're breaking bread with everyone every day.
It's 'The Hunger Games.' My character needs to look hungry. A little bit.
I have gotten a couple of letters meant for Mr. Bean aka Rowan Atkinson. These letters would say things like, 'You're so funny, you make me laugh, with your big rubbery face,' and I would say, 'You can't mean me!'
If I have food in the house and I'm laying in bed, I go, 'I bet that Captain Crunch is lonely in the cupboard.'
