A Quote by Allison Janney

I do like ensemble work. I would like to do a lead role, though. I didn't shy away from that. I'm desperately looking for a lead role to do in a film, an independent film, and it just hasn't come my way yet. I'm desperately looking for that role that will put me in a lead category. Or a television series.

I think typically you'd start in a supporting role or an ensemble role, or maybe even an off-Broadway role. So to come into a lead role on Broadway, especially taking over a role that has been played by two phenomenal actors in the past, that is some large shoes to fill.

Cody Simpson

I never ever played the lead role in a play, except at school. I guess the industry that we're in, boys that look like me don't get the lead role.

Mark Indelicato

My ambition was always to bag a lead role in a film, and hence, I refrained from doing any ads, TV serials, music videos, as I felt that a fresh face always works much better. It was a gamble, and I took that gamble telling myself that I will give it my all to bag a lead role.

Ranveer Singh

It was a fun film. I had a great time doing it. I was looking for a role just like that for my first movie role. I didn't want to have a starring role, because I wanted a chance to learn. I didn't want the whole thing riding on me.

Luke Perry

Now, there doesn't have to necessarily be a white man in the lead role. That's the way forward. That's diversity. It's cool if an Indian is playing the lead role in a Hollywood project, and we should be proud of this.

Ali Fazal

I don't believe in terminologies like 'lead role' or 'supporting role' or 'cameo role,' etc.

Paresh Rawal

I just want to keep the diversity and the options open. In terms of what I'm looking for, I'd like to do a lead action role.

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje

There were so many lead roles available when I was in my thirties. Once I hit 45, there was a real downturn. But I got an incredibly provocative, delicious lead role in a television series called 'Saving Grace,' and I loved the character.

Holly Hunter

I would love to play a role that is a lead role that people appreciate and a lot of people get to see. I just don't want to have to fight for every role anymore.

Madeline Zima

My ideal role would be the lead in a film with a director that I really appreciate and admire.

Logan Lerman

I will only do a Bollywood film if I am offered the main lead role.

Priyamani

My so-called 'reservations' and personal comfort zones can't define my work. That's not being professional. I feel that even if an actor is cast for the lead role or for any other part in the film, it is his job to do the film and not create an issue.

Shahid Kapoor

In my journey, I got amazing characters to play which were as interesting as a lead role. In 'Commando,' my role was so good. I feel no actor have rejected that kind of a role.

Jaideep Ahlawat

I just want to keep the diversity and the options open. In terms of what I'm looking for, I'd like to do a lead action role. Whilst I'm still young and I still have the looks, I want to take the helm and be a renegade cop, or something like that. He's got to have a bit of an edge, but that would be nice.

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje

I do my work to the best of my capacity. I don't pick a role looking at its length. I take up a film because I would like to see it.
