There's always a concern as an actor that you'll be boring unless your character is swinging from a chandelier.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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!
If you're not careful as an actor, you can find yourself, at a certain point, a little bit bored.
As an actor, you wouldn't be able to play a character if you were worried about the reaction to what you're doing.
Really, you want to have variety as an actor. If you spend your career doing one thing solidly, people get burned out.
As an actor, you never know where the work's going to come, so you have to be flexible about it.
Actors ought to be larger than life. You come across quite enough ordinary, nondescript people in daily life and I don't see why you should be subjected to them on the stage too.
My whole history of being an actor is unusual and slightly disgraceful because it should be something you burn to do.
Sometimes, if you leave yourself open, an actor can bring nice nuances to a character.
I don't want to get into a comfort zone. I am getting characters of varying shades, which I believe will help me grow as an 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.
