I have no issue with being a character actor. If you've been around enough that people are able to segregate you into that category, it means you're working. So that's good!

Being a character actor, I can go on until I'm 70 or 80; I'm not bound to the way I look.

Let's face facts, this is visual medium, there's a very high premium put on people who are good-looking. But the minute you rely on that you get yourself in trouble. You certainly don't make a career out of that anymore as an actor.

I found myself sort of becoming a character actor, though I don't know if that would be my natural makeup.

I really love being a character actor.

As an actor, the biggest compliment you can get, in my book is for someone to believe that you're the character.

I'm just a character actor.

I think being a character actor is exciting in that it allows you to embody completely different things, whether it's through wild accents or a crazy bad guy or a drunken good guy.

My only job as an actor is to try and understand the character and, to the best of my ability, bring this character to life.

As you get older and ease your way into being a character actor you have to be comfortable with where you are in life and career, and I'm very comfortable with what I'm doing - working on projects I'm proud of.
