I don't have any complex plans for playing a character. I think all I try to do is not make too many bad guy faces and not ever try to seem too good. I just try to put it in the middle somewhere.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is a little bit of me in every part I do... I'm not really good enough to completely construct an all-new character.
I don't mind playing bad guys, but I love having the opportunity to play all different types of characters.
With a face like mine, I'm never going to play a character who conquers the universe, I'm going to play characters who are subject to forces bearing down on them. My career's based on how we are rather than how we wish we were - they get the good-looking boys in for that kind of role.
If I'm practicing making up what the characters will do, it's never good. In fact, when I catch myself doing that, I try to get rid of that section, and try and let them start making the decisions.
You know, the best-laid plans of mice and men... I like playing bad guys, and I don't have a problem doing that. They're interesting characters, and there's as many different kinds of bad guys as there are good guys - they're rich, they're strong, they're powerful, and so that's fine with me.
The opportunities I've had to play really complex characters - which haven't been a lot, but some - you never get over them.
I always try to make each character my own.
It is always more fun to play a bad guy than to be yourself as you can create a character unlike your own and be someone you are not for a change.
It's quite hard to find a ballsy or complex character. So the roles I've taken are those. Lot's of people put me in the dark category.
I also try very hard to create characters - both heroes and villains - with psychological depth.
