All of my main characters have been under 30.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always played characters that were younger than myself.
I'd like to play characters who are older - I don't want to be playing 14-year-olds too much longer.
Everyone is the sum total of past experiences. A character doesn't just spring to life at age thirty.
When I wrote my first story, all the characters were teenagers because I think 16, 17 is a great age.
I think every major character I've played was originally for an older woman. I have no idea what that says. I guess I'm mature for my age.
On my show, I'm definitely the youngest one. So going from a show where everyone is over 30, to the movie, where everyone was like 20, 25, it was like summer camp.
I want to do amazing roles fit for my age in 30 years. I'm sure I'll be less popular and have less offers then, but I think I'll be able to do act well for my age at the time.
I have always been drawn to coming-of-age stories and books and movies featuring compelling young characters.
I liked 35 and in both my novels that is the age of the lead characters. I tried making them my age but they just seemed to keep moaning about stuff.
Character roles definitely age better than your ingenues. You don't get to keep doing that.
