Playing roles that are intense and damaged has always come more easily to me than doing comedies or lighter stuff - that would be taking a huge risk for me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The physical part of comedy is as hard as a lot of action movies. It scares me, but in a way that I like.
It doesn't come easily to me, comedy. It's definitely not my strong suit. I'm probably more suited for drama and dramatic roles, but I certainly would love to be in quirky and fun movies.
I think that in any role you have, whether TV or film, it's hard to do comedy and drama within one story.
I don't consider roles like in 'Die Hard' what I do. This is like a hobby. It's fun. I had a good time. And I love being in a movie that people actually go see. But it's about things getting blown up. It's not about great character development.
I think you can lose yourself more easily in a film than in the theater.
You might see some of the movies that I'm in where there are shades of drama or whatever, but for the most part, I don't get offered serious roles.
You've got to keep taking certain risks, because my priority is in acting, it's not in movie stardom.
One thing that's great about being a character actor is that a movie doesn't rest on your shoulders. If it bombs, it won't hurt my career.
I watch comedies most of the time. That's what I gravitate toward. But I think the kinds of roles people see me in are sort of the opposite of that. I'm not really sure why.
As a professional actor, I don't have much choice about what I've gotten into. I tend to be cast in comedies and I'm fine with that.
