I used to play a lot of villains. You have to break out of it, and I did.

A lot of people only see me as villains.

I generally play villains once every three or four years by choice because I get offered villainous roles a lot, because of the way I look and whatever. And I tend to avoid them because I think you can end up in a cul-de-sac of your own making if you're cast in that.

You've got to have a villain and they'll always make me a villain. I'm used to it - it makes me work harder and it makes me fight harder.

But you see, I have played more good guys than I have played villains.

Being a villain is great, even though I've only gotten to do it a few times.

To be completely honest, it's shocking to me that I keep getting the villain roles! I do not see myself as the villain and I know, growing up, I was the opposite of a villain. I would never try to be a villain to anyone - but maybe other people I grew up with feel differently about that.

I usually do get to play the very sweet, charming roles... but I'm not an obvious kind of villain.

Maybe you're better to play a villain just straight out.

I understand being the villain is what people like. People play to that. They want to know about the villain.
