There were definitely dark nights when you're like, 'Maybe joining the military wasn't such a good idea.' But, in a way, it was the best training to be an actor.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most actors spend a lot of time training themselves to be an actor. And I kind of didn't do that.
It was very clear to me I wanted to be an actor when I got out into civilian life.
For a long time, I really struggled with the idea of being an actor because I really felt that I should be in the Peace Corps.
I think to be a good actor you need either a good experience of life or education, or both.
As an actor, I tend to enjoy going to the dark side.
I'm not dark; I'm not. The main thing I consider in accepting a role is less the tone of the movie and more whether I think it's a good film, whether I like the character and whether I think I could do it. I don't think, 'Oh, I've done X amount of dark films.'
I never had any desire to be a film actor. I never thought I was the good-looking movie type, which I assumed they wanted.
I actually didn't always want to be an actor.
Being an actor is mostly about rejection and being out of work. It was a fast lesson in all of that stuff.
I had no intention of being an actor. I was quite good at it. I was pretty capable at other things but never any good at anything.
