I've always thought of myself as a character actor, even though I've played some leading-man roles.

I always thought of myself as a character actor. I never thought of myself as a leading man.

I always knew I'd be more of a character actor than a leading man, and I always wanted to take that and run with it.

I don't have to be a leading man. I can be a character actor. That's really what interests me anyway.

I'm a character actor, but I look like a leading man.

I think every leading man wants to be a character actor, and every character actor wants to be a leading man.

In a weird way, that's the beauty of being an actor. You get to live out things that you're afraid of, and you get to say, 'Well, maybe I can get to the end of it and survive it intact and I can be the hero of my own story.' It's kind of a way of exorcising fear.

Well, I think probably when I first got in the business, I wasn't thinking of being strictly a character actor. But I knew I wanted to be a working actor, and as the years have gone on, I just naturally evolved into that. Because, y'know, I'm not a leading guy. Never was.

Fortunately and unfortunately, people don't see me as a character actor. They see me as a leading man or nothing, which makes it really hard to get work.

Frankly, acting doesn't scare me because I really enjoy it.
