After 'Melancholia' and 'On the Road,' I wanted to do a comedy. And I did so many comedies when I was younger, but if you're not consistently in those movies, people don't always think of you for them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People used to think of me as a comedy actor.
My first films were comedy, 'Murder By Death,' and 'The Cheap Detective.' But now they won't think of me as a comedian. Now, they think of me as a bad guy, and I can't do comedy.
Even in college I tended to get cast in the comedies more. It was what I liked doing.
Unfortunately, I was making comedies in my 20s, but other people didn't realize they were comedies.
I never looked at my future as comedy. Even at Second City, I always thought of it as acting. I knew I was going to be an actor, financially, emotionally, egotistically. I still don't think I'm in comedy.
I grew up wanting to make movies, and along the way I suddenly found that I had a career doing comedy.
When I was a kid, I used to make up all these characters. I love comedy a lot, and I don't get to do it often. Somewhere in the middle, I shifted into doing drama.
I think I've definitely found a niche working in comedy, but dramatic films are what brought me here. After I saw 'Titanic' in the theater, I got the bug.
I haven't really done a lot of comedies. I don't know why, because I really like them.
