It hasn't been until the last couple years that I've started playing close to my age. But it's fun playing the younger roles because it takes you back to the teen years.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am happy being able to play roles with people my age because once you do something really mature there is no turning back.
I find myself getting associated with a lot of younger people in the game. I still enjoy playing with them, and I think they still enjoy playing with me. As long as I can stay competitive and have fun doing what I'm doing, I guess I'll keep doing it.
I've always played way older than my age. It's the experience behind my eyes or something.
Whether it's a blessing or a curse, I have always played someone like 10 years younger. When I was 23 or 24, I was playing 15 opposite Evan Rachel Wood in a movie called 'Pretty Persuasion.' She was 16 and nobody in a million years would have thought I was that much older than her.
I've played a lot of younger, more coming-of-age roles as well as roles that aren't such an imposing physical presence.
I think anybody over 30 plays parents because it happens in your thirties and so that's kind of a natural progression. But I'm definitely drawn to it. It's probably the most intense, passionate thing that happens to you as you get older.
I've always played characters that were younger than myself.
I've been acting since age 8. I just stopped enjoying it as much as I used to.
Getting older has been a bonus for me. I feel lucky that parts are being written for someone my age and I am around to play them.
I have been really lucky to play roles younger than myself for most of my career.
