I was shaped by the heroes in the films I saw, which you always want to emulate and be like. I wanted to be like Alan Ladd, Gary Cooper, Jimmy Stewart.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The truth is that I've always wanted to be an actor, ever since I was a child. I used to see these English movies which were shown to us in our school every Saturday, and then I used to enact the hero's part in my head.
Most actors are like, 'I want to be more like Marlon Brando.' But when I was a little kid, I just wanted to be an action hero! Then I grew up, and my interests were different.
I always wanted to be an actor. I always wanted to be John Wayne.
In television, to be a hero and look like I look, that really stuck with me.
I never saw an actor and thought, 'Wow, I want to be like that.' It's just I wanted it to be part of my life.
When I realized that if I was an actor, I could be any character I wanted instead of just one particular, I was like, 'Wow, that's cool.'
I was inspired by lots of people, certainly in acting and in writing and stuff, but I never wanted to be somebody else.
I always wanted to be a great actor.
I always wanted to be a character actor. I love watching movies where you don't recognize someone because they're so lost in the part.
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.
