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've never thought of myself as a classic leading man. I'm a character actor who happens to play leading roles. Come on, look at me. I'm really Desperate Dan.

I don't have to be a leading man. I can be a character actor. That's really what interests me anyway.

I'm a character actor, but I look like a leading man.

I always thought of myself as a character actor. I never thought of myself as a leading man.

I've always thought of myself as a character actor, even though I've played some leading-man roles.

I don't get offered leading parts. I suppose I've become a kind of character actor or sideman. I think it had to do with probably in the '90s, I refused so many leading roles that they gave up on me, or I just became unpopular, or I became old. All those reasons.

I'm a character actress. It doesn't mean I can't do leading roles; I don't think of myself as a leading lady.

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.
