As an actor, you know, I love not being pigeonholed, which is great. No one really knows who I am. So that's a positive.

As you know, Hollywood loves to pigeonhole all the actors and actresses, and suddenly I got 're-pigeonholed' as an action actor.

Yeah, there's a tendency to get pigeonholed in Hollywood.

Actors get pigeonholed very quickly, particularly movie actors. In the theater, one is more used to casting people against type and trusting that their talent and skill will get them through.

You can get pigeonholed in Hollywood and people think of you in a certain way.

I love working with the right actor, and if the right actor happens to be unknown, that should be allowed, too, I think.

When actors get pigeonholed, that's their own doing to a large degree. Because if you do something that people like, obviously they're going to ask you to do it again. It's up to you to say no. If you're that insecure about working, you'll probably do what you're known to do.

You get pigeonholed. Some people are film stars, and some are theatre stars who do one-off telly. Somehow, I get into long-running series.

There are certain stars who are not actors. I don't want to be that type.

From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.
