Being typecast is the enemy of any actor, so if you can try to do something that flips on the head peoples' ideas of who you are or what you can do, that's my biggest aim.

I generally get challenged; I haven't been typecast, which is really, really, nice. It's not something that every actor gets, really. It's luxury. Most actors are capable of it, but they aren't afforded the opportunity to express their variety.

I'm going to try to not let anyone put me in a box, and that certainly applies to the things I do outside of acting.

As an actor, you don't want to be typecast, because Hollywood is so quick to put you in things that you've succeeded in before.

A lot of actors seem to dislike typecasting these days. The funny thing is, that's a fairly recent development. It used to be that actors wanted to be typecast so audiences could remember them and identify with them.

I never felt that I was typecast, but I was concerned about it. I certainly made an effort to take as many parts in theater and film that resisted that. If you only learn how to act a certain kind of role, it is very difficult to grow as an actor.

I don't really worry about being typecast much. I mean, everyone in Hollywood is typecast to a degree.

I've said maybe too many times that I'd rather be typecast than not cast at all.

Getting typecast is a dangerous thing to do.
