It's been dawning on me slowly that for the past 35 years I have been cast against type, and I'm finally getting to do what I really wanted to do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've said maybe too many times that I'd rather be typecast than not cast at all.
I am conscious about not getting typecast, but obviously I have to keep picking up great roles so that I don't get typecast.
I have been typecast in my career, although the type changes with the decades.
Being typecast is the enemy of any actor, so if you can try to do something that flips on the head peoples' ideas of who you are or what you can do, that's my biggest aim.
I've been fortunate enough in my career that I haven't been typecast at all.
Typecasting is an interesting thing because, in a way, if you're good at something, you're going to work at that thing. In other ways, you constantly have to change people's opinion of you as one thing, especially if you want to play different roles. You have to shatter that image sometimes.
When I was first starting out, and I was less established, I was really concerned about being typecast.
I haven't had a problem with being typecast, but if I was only getting one type of role, I wouldn't mind. What I'm worried about is not working.
As long as I keep getting cast, I don't care if it's typecast.
I was not easy to cast, but also, I have never been typecast.
