It's what I've always wanted to do and each part you play gets you closer and closer to the roles that you dreamed of playing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I find a role I want to play, I just go after it.
It's always been fun for me to play a variety of parts, and over the years, I've been lucky with the things I've been asked to do.
It sounds maybe a little old fashioned, but the parts I want to play and I do play, you don't want to inject too much of your own personality. What you sacrifice then is a slight mystery.
I like to do new things, so I always take on roles that I feel will keep me on my toes. I never want to pigeon myself, so I always like to surprise myself. I believe in versatility and so I would play anything as long as it was a challenge.
I sometimes want to do totally different roles. I don't always want to play 'wholesome.'
I like playing the contrasting roles. It what inspires me to act. If I look back on my career I am happy that I have gotten to play a wide variety of different roles, from Mike Dexter, to Van Ray in Fast Lane, to Dr. Cullen to Coop.
Every role that I play is a gift and is something that I approach differently.
Even if I play a similar role to one I've played before, I will never play it the same, I'll always try to do something different with it.
I don't really give much thought to the roles that I'd ideally love to play.
I think the thing that I always try to do - because it piques my interest - is to play really different parts all the time.
