I like playing characters that have a prickly armor because when you start to see the cracks and some heart come out, it gives the audience something to look forward to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like to play very raw characters, characters who have a degree of vulnerability and passion about what they're doing.
I love playing really strung out characters, and characters that are really pushed to their limits and losing their mind.
I love playing characters that are strong, when there's physicality involved.
I love to play characters who are stuffy and nerdy who either then have a dark side or are pushed to a breaking point.
I like playing characters who are fractured, broken. I find that more relatable, for some reason. I don't feel that I'm like that myself by nature, but there's just something that you can really grab hold of if people have a darkness in them, I think.
I love it when talented actors can bring characters to life. Anybody who wears their feelings on their sleeve and has a harder, crusty shell - like I do - is definitely protecting an inner sensitivity.
I love playing really strung out characters, and characters that are really pushed to their limits and losing their mind. I think that's wonderful. To be able to lose it, in many ways, is just great fun to do.
So the characters that I choose, I like to make sure that they have depth and that they have some sort of bite. It's more fun.
I'll play a happy character, but most characters are driven by a pain or a fear. They are driven by something deep down, and most people are like that in the sense. And so, that's what interests me.
I like playing characters who are out there on the edge, where they can explode at any moment or fall off the precipice.
