If you turn down work because you are frightened of getting typecast, you'll never do anything good.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been fortunate enough in my career that I haven't been typecast at all.
Getting typecast is a dangerous thing to do.
I am conscious about not getting typecast, but obviously I have to keep picking up great roles so that I don't get typecast.
I don't subscribe to the thinking that being typecast is a bad thing.
When I was first starting out, and I was less established, I was really concerned about being typecast.
It's a good thing to be typecast, isn't it?
I haven't had a problem with being typecast, but if I was only getting one type of role, I wouldn't mind. What I'm worried about is not working.
Typecasting is an interesting thing because, in a way, if you're good at something, you're going to work at that thing. In other ways, you constantly have to change people's opinion of you as one thing, especially if you want to play different roles. You have to shatter that image sometimes.
At this point in my career, it doesn't bother me much that I'm probably hopelessly typecast. I like to work, and horror films definitely keep me working.
I haven't worked enough to worry about getting typecast, but I do as a film lover didn't want to be working with the bad guys. I didn't want to be making a movie I thought was contributing to a lower base of movies that I just didn't think were helping people, really.
