Character roles definitely age better than your ingenues. You don't get to keep doing that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is not easy to age in harmony with one's roles.
I've played a lot of younger, more coming-of-age roles as well as roles that aren't such an imposing physical presence.
Age is the first limitation on roles that I've ever had to encounter, and I hit that awhile ago.
Certain type of actresses get younger instead of older. I always say, 'Only ingenues age.'
I think in the acting world you either manage that transition to older roles, or you stick with what you've always done and then discover nobody can bear you doing it as an older person.
I am happy being able to play roles with people my age because once you do something really mature there is no turning back.
I've always played characters that were younger than myself.
I have been really lucky to play roles younger than myself for most of my career.
You never play age, you play character.
But, you know, it really depends on the character. Age doesn't really matter.
