I'm sure my agents would like me to play leading roles, and I guess I should, but I'm more interested in the character parts. They're more fun, challenging and interesting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It would drive me crazy if I picked roles with the goal of being a leading man. You never know what you're getting into when you sign onto a project, and more times than not, the characters that are close to the leading man are more interesting and more fun to play.
I have said to my agents, 'I want to work. I want to play character roles.'
I don't really give much thought to the roles that I'd ideally love to play.
I'm kind of thinking that I might start trying to do some acting. I really enjoy role play.
As an actress, you're already disregarded for a lot of the parts by the people who are setting up those shows. You don't need your agent to be doing the same.
When I find a role I want to play, I just go after it.
There are so many characters I want to play. I'm greedy about acting.
I think that acting involves doing your job so well that you are able to help the viewer identify with the character.
It's important to have the right agent - people that are working hard for you. But an actor needs to be in control of their career no matter how good the representation is.
My favorite thing about acting is that I can play all kinds of different people. Frankly, I don't consider myself a very interesting person, so the characters I play are usually much more fun.
