I have been fortunate to experience a wide range of characters. What more can an actor ask for?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think any actor hopes to have variety and range in what they do. Everybody has a certain range, so you take on roles to expand that the best you can... See things a little differently and whatnot.
I guess you can say that every actor is a 'character actor' on some level. But I think some actors have a wider range. I think that's how you get that mantle.
As an actor, it's amazing to get to create different characters.
If you're lucky, and not a lot of actors are these days, you get the chance to create a character.
I'm definitely a character actor. I've tried to limit anything with a uniform because I've done it so much. There's a lot more I can offer. It's just getting people to see something else.
Fortunately, I get asked to play - regardless of how big or small they are - some really interesting people who are part of great stories. So, as an actor, there's really nothing better.
As an actor, you need to be versatile. You need to challenge yourself.
For me and for I'm sure any actor, each role is a different challenge to prepare for in a different way.
I guess every character has a little bit of the actor - I guess for every character you play, the actor has to allow a little bit of their own character to show through.
All you ever really want is a great character and great writing. As an actor, that's the juiciest sandwich you could ever ask for.
