In real life, every person is the leading man or woman. We don't think of ourselves as supporting or character actors.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's the persona that makes you a leading actor. A leading actor has something extra that's fun to watch. But it isn't usually about acting.
I don't really think there's much difference between a character actor and a leading man besides aesthetics.
To be the leading man it's about the celebrity and the looks, and it's tough to do that. People who do it great are people like Tom Cruise and Will Smith - they're built for that. I ain't. I'm more of a character guy.
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'm a character actor, but I look like a leading man.
I've always thought of myself as a character actor, even though I've played some leading-man roles.
I'm a character actress. It doesn't mean I can't do leading roles; I don't think of myself as a leading lady.
It's what actors call a big, juicy part, when you're a leading man. I don't get a lot of those. I get a lot of supporting things.
I always thought of myself as a character actor. I never thought of myself as a leading man.
I think every leading man wants to be a character actor, and every character actor wants to be a leading man.
