I can play the leading man. I can play the action hero, maybe in just a different way. I look at it as, you know, if you set your mind to it, you can do it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I want to play an action hero. I'm ready for roles that totally aren't me.
I have friends who are leading men, and they're only ever allowed to play leading men of a certain type. But as a character actor, there's a wider variety of projects available. On the big Hollywood films, all they care about is having their lead in place, so it's actually easier for someone like me to slip in. And I'm happy to do so.
I don't have to be a leading man. I can be a character actor. That's really what interests me anyway.
I haven't gotten to do the leading man thing, so I would love to do that!
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 an actor. I'll take a lead if it's offered. The really good actors can fill a character, no matter what the role is. A good leading man is a character actor; a good character actor can be a leading man.
But obviously you don't want to just be the guy who comes in and sort of spices up every movie. So yeah, definitely moving into more of a leading man role would be great, but on my own terms.
When I find a role I want to play, I just go after it.
Well, the only way I can get a leading-man role is if I write it.
It would drive me crazy if I picked roles with the goal of being a leading man. You never know what you're getting into when you sign onto a project, and more times than not, the characters that are close to the leading man are more interesting and more fun to play.
