That's what I play - blue-collar Italian-Americans. You got to be typecast in order to work. I've been blessed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love being Italian.
I'm makin' a lotta dough, everyone knows who you are, and who the hell cares whether you're typecast or not? Also, there's something wrong with complaining about being typecast in something you really enjoy doing.
I've played American, Italian, Greek, French. I've been really lucky that way.
I do try and stay away from the stereotype and getting typecast.
I don't feel typecast almost at all, and it could just be because I'm insensitive, but I doubt it. I think most of my roles I've gotten have very little to do with my ethnicity. I don't feel that's a limiting factor for my career.
I don't believe in being typecast. If I believed it, it probably would have happened to me. You attract what you make.
The Italians always know that I'm not Italian.
When I was first starting out, and I was less established, I was really concerned about being typecast.
I've been blessed because every single role I've done has been an educated person. I've never done the stereotypical Latina, even though I have an accent - I've always been able to play educated people. That's a good thing!
I've been fortunate enough in my career that I haven't been typecast at all.
