I wish I were a character actor. Of course, if I played hockey without a mask, I could become one.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think I may have become an actor to hide from myself. You can escape into a character.
Eventually, I'd love to be known as a character actor.
For as long as I can remember I wanted to be a professional hockey player.
I have a very 'theatre' face. I have what they call a wide mask. I probably would have been a big film star in the '20s with the silent films where they used a lot of key lighting, and make-up carved out your face.
I literally wear a mask. When I take it off, I'm a father. I'm a husband. I like to come home, and I like to spend time with family, and I like to travel, and I like to have a good time. And I like to be a kid every now and giggle and play with my kids.
I was never really a character actor - I was a leading man who was always cast as a character. I wanted to be Jack Nicholson or Jean Gabin.
Acting is like a Halloween mask that you put on.
I found myself sort of becoming a character actor, though I don't know if that would be my natural makeup.
I'm an actor, in particular, that likes to have a mask or something that can help me distance myself from the character. Like the moustache or an accent.
I never wanted to be an actor as a kid. I wanted to play hockey, like every other kid in Canada. I had a pretty good shot at it until I was 15 and badly injured myself.
