Usually the characters I play are men of few words, who communicate in non-verbal ways.
You never play age, you play character.
I play characters, and I try to play them in a manner that's appropriate to the script. Physical movement and vitality of language is part of character.

I've always played characters that were younger than myself.
I would not have so many scripts being driven by demographics. The play's the thing - not the 18-35 year old male age group.
I write characters. Some of those characters are women.
If I played characters who were like me, I'd be super bored.
But, you know, it really depends on the character. Age doesn't really matter.
