Been Down Later Lucky Many Roles Too Turned Turned Down Very

Richard Schiff
American - Actor
Born: May 27, 1955

I turned down 'American Gigolo.' There are many films - like 'Ghostbusters' - that I turned down... The first one I did was 'Foul Play' with Goldie Hawn, but I turned down 'Animal House' - I turned that down.

Chevy Chase

I have been fortunate to get some really good scripts over the years and I haven't turned down anything that I regretted so far. And my manager who I've been with for over 25 years is very good at knowing what I should and shouldn't do a lot of times.

Billy Bob Thornton

I've been really lucky; I've had the opportunity to play so many roles. I can't imagine a more fortunate career for an actor. I feel incredibly lucky.

Billy Crudup

I never regretted what I turned down.

Angela Lansbury

I've never been offered a job that I turned down and regretted. I didn't have Stanley Kubrick offer me something and me say no.

Curtis Armstrong

I've been lucky enough to play roles that are not just the preppy cheerleader or sullen emo girl. I've been able to play roles that are really vast and varied and very three-dimensional. Fingers crossed that it remains the same.

Tara Lynne Barr

I have to be careful not to do so many comedy airhead roles from now on. I've turned down a couple already.

Tamsin Egerton

With all editing, no matter how sensitive - and I've been very lucky here - I react sulkily at first, but then I settle down and get on with it, and a year later I have my book in my hand.

Michael Morpurgo

I have never met an old saint who regretted having spent too much time in prayer, but I have met many who regretted having spent too little!

Paul Washer

I grew up without the rose-tinted look at the profession many of my friends had, but I've been very lucky playing major roles in 'An Ideal Husband', 'Arcadia' and 'The Memory of Water'.

Samantha Bond

I've been quite lucky in that the roles that I've been able to play are all kind of outsiders. And, you know, I belong to so many places and belong to none of them at the same time, so there's this sense of displacement - I very much understand what it is to not fit in or belong somewhere.

Anya Taylor-Joy

I've been very lucky with the roles that I've played in that they were wonderful roles for women. They're incredible, flawed characters that I really gravitate toward. I just never want anybody to be able to put me in a box.

Anya Taylor-Joy

There's plenty of girlfriend roles out there. They've come my way, and many people have turned them down, and I think, "Oh maybe I could do something with this." It's interesting when you get those roles, which seem like nothing on the page, and you kind of subvert them. It's hard to say no.

Cate Blanchett

I have been so lucky when it comes to work. It's great to do so many different roles.

Ralph Ineson

There's been roles that I have turned down. There's no rule book or handbook... It's just... whatever I'm comfortable with.

Anjelah Johnson

Roles came to me. I was very, very lucky in that respect. Great directors, great writers, great producers - they saw something in me that they wanted for their picture or their play or whatever it was, whether it was Edward Albee or whether it was - or Peter Hall, directors. They would come to me, thank God. I was lucky. Lucky, lucky, lucky.
