Character actors aren't a brand in the same way that high-profile leading men are.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I guess you can say that every actor is a 'character actor' on some level. But I think some actors have a wider range. I think that's how you get that mantle.
A lot of male actors are method actors and they become the characters which they both were.
I'm a character actor, but I look like a leading man.
Actors are people who are doing a job they want to do, which isn't the case for many of the people who watch what we do.
In real life, every person is the leading man or woman. We don't think of ourselves as supporting or character actors.
The actors I admire are character actors.
Some actors learn the habit of promoting themselves as a brand - by dressing in a certain way, by going out with a certain person - it gives them what they obviously want, which is to keep a level of fame. I'm not putting it down.
I think every leading man wants to be a character actor, and every character actor wants to be a leading man.
I think all actors are supposed to be character actors.
I don't really think there's much difference between a character actor and a leading man besides aesthetics.
