It's much less interesting as an actor playing someone who's purely good or purely evil.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
Being actors is a strange job.
I prefer to play the bad guy - it gives you more freedom as an actor.
It's as boring to see a completely evil villain as it is to see a completely good guy.
There has got to be more to life than being a really, really, ridiculously good actor.
As an actor, if you decide that someone is bad... you can't play bad, because even the worst person doesn't think what they're doing is bad.
The truth is, good actors are always looking to do something different. They are dying to play slightly odder characters or work on movies that aren't straight down the middle.
It's certainly more interesting for me as an actor, but I think it's also more interesting for the audience to see three-dimensional characters, rather than just a bad guy or a good guy.
Every actor will tell you it's so much more fun to play the bad guy because usually those characters are more complex and more broad and more interesting, and have more sides to them.
In all of us, there is a struggle between the good and the bad. It makes it more palpable and real to play such people as an actor.
