I'm trying to find a character that's my age and I can sustain week after week. I'd like to do a series.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'd like to play characters who are older - I don't want to be playing 14-year-olds too much longer.
I'm interested in characters that are complex people.
I grew up watching 'Magnum, P.I.' and shows like that, where you could develop a character over eight seasons, with stories along the way.
All of my main characters have been under 30.
I can't inhabit my characters until I know what kind of work they do. This requires research because my jobs for the last decade have been author and professor, and I'd like to spare the world more author or professor novels.
I'm just looking always for characters that change, because I want to get better, as an actor and as a person.
I'd like to be known for my character.
Writing a teen character is something I wanted to try again for a long time!
I don't want to get pigeon-holed into a certain kind of character. I love action roles and the hero, but I want to keep trying something new.
I'd never thought much about a series, because I liked the idea of picking a script I liked with a character I thought I could sustain for an hour. In a series, you live with one character day in and day out - and you only hope it will be one that will not drive you crazy.
