I have tried making the roles that I have played in my career look different with my attitude, diction or my beahviour.
An actor is an impersonator; he plays many different roles. If you played the same role all the time, God - that'd be a boring career. When you take on different roles and become a different person, that's called acting... It's a challenge.
The career I chose was a drama major in college, at Yale, when I played a 90-year-old woman. One of my most celebrated roles. Then I played a really fat person. I played a lot of different things. That's how I thought I loved to wrangle my talent, my need to express myself. I like to do it that way.
I have played lead roles, supporting roles and also miniscule roles in my career so far, and have never been image conscious.
If you look at my acting career, I never played a role that was similar to anything my brother played. I was always cast as the bad guy or a gangster, because my brother didn't do those kind of roles.
I have tried to look different and play different roles through my life because I am passionate about my work.
I have played many cop roles in my career, and my effort is to make each role different.
An actor is an impersonator; he plays many different roles. If you played the same role all the time, God that'd be a boring career.
I look for roles that allow me to immerse in different worlds, immerse in worlds that are different from mine. Then, when you finish a film, you're a different person. I look for that. I look to be impacted, to be transformed, changed by my roles. That's why I do this.
Throughout my career I've played a lot of parts that might've been played by a man. They're human roles rather than specifically men or women. I've never been as hooked into that as a lot of women are, you know, like, 'There aren't enough roles for women.' There aren't necessarily a lot of good roles for anybody.
I like playing the contrasting roles. It what inspires me to act. If I look back on my career I am happy that I have gotten to play a wide variety of different roles, from Mike Dexter, to Van Ray in Fast Lane, to Dr. Cullen to Coop.
As far as the lack of hits goes, I think perhaps it's because I've played a lot of different roles and have not created a persona that the public can latch on to. I have played everything from psychopathic killers to romantic leading men, and in picking such diverse roles I have avoided typecasting.
I had a good theater career for years. I played Hamlet when I was 22, and I've played some really great roles.
I've played in a lot of different roles through the course of my career and I've been a starter for a lot of those years and the mentality can never change.
My goal is to just keep playing roles that are different from the roles I've played before.
When I look back on my career, I go, 'This is really great, I've played so many different women.'
I've always played different kinds of roles, and I probably played more vulnerable parts when I was really young.
