Be it television or film, or theatre, I can modify myself, develop any character and slip into any role.
My family is not at all involved in television, or film, or theatre, or any of it, really.
The moment any film has song and dance sequences - where any time any character can start singing and dancing without any explanation - it can turn into a senseless film.
Film, theater and television always kind of scared me. I don't ever seriously think of myself as an actor at all, and I don't plan any film career or television career.
I'm just attracted to good material and great characters and that can come in any form, whether it's television or film or a theatre piece.
Be it television, theatre, or radio, I can work in any medium. I don't want to limit myself to just movies.
I will do a big-budget film. I will do an indie film. I will do a short film. I will do a digital platform show, television, and even theatre. I don't have any restrictions in terms of platform as long as the content is something that I find interesting.
I don't have any dream role. I give my 100% to every character I play, and when the film clicks, it automatically becomes a dream role.
Even on television, it is all about the script of the show and my character. It has nothing to do with whether I am bagging the lead role or any other.
I abhor badly-written characters and any character, be it man, woman, any character in the film. If it is a well-written character, it will come across as strong.
Film is a much lonelier process than theatre. You really don't have any rehearsal time in film. You don't shape it together... with theatre, there is a complete kind of family atmosphere. The sociable side of this business is the theatrical side, it really isn't the film side.
And, for any performer, to be able to go deep into character is fantastic. In film you only get to do that if you're the leading character. But in television you get 18 hours to really test the audience and take them to the edge of how far they will go with this character. I can step over this line and I love that.
I still think of myself as a stage actor. When I do film and television I try to implement what I was taught to do in theatre, to try to stretch into characters that are far from myself.
Neither my MFA from Yale School of Drama nor my BFA from the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University make me any different from other actors in film, television, or theatre.
I kind of cheer the presence of any gay characters at all - I think the more we can saturate television with any gay character or lesbian character or transgender character, I think that's a really great thing. We're kind of getting past the fact that they're the punchline or that they're the novelty.
I don't see any difference in the craft of acting, in film or television. It's absolutely the same. It's different storytelling, playing a character over multiple hours, as opposed to two.
I am always open to any film from any place, given the role and the script is interesting.
