You can't be an actor in a small town-you have to go to New York or L.A.
I'd love to do something on 'Mad Men.' Or play Peter Dinklage's cousin on 'Game of Thrones.' That would be fun.
One character I always thought I could play is the Thing from 'Fantastic Four.' Another character I've always loved as a fan is Colossus. If there was a way to make that happen that worked, I would love to be Colossus.
The western has always been, for me, the bread and butter. It's the easiest place for an identifiable Native American to be able to work. But I do yearn to be known as an actor rather than a 'Native American actor.'
I think that is what all ethnic actors aspire to - to just play a woman who falls in love, or works as a clerk, or whatever - and then, if you want to, to have that luxury to bring in the cultural heritage.
I want to play a villain. I want to play a romantic heroine.
I've always wanted to be an actor that explores different genres and different characters.
I didn't really have any aspirations to do TV when I first decided to be an actor.
My career aspirations as an actor have always been driven foremost by the creative desire to be versatile.
I think most actors don't start out wanting to be either a lead or a character actor. You just really want to work, whatever manifestation that takes.
I want people to take me seriously as an actor. I want to be a star; I won't deny that.
I'm dying to play a nice guy! No one's willing to cast me. They know I'm all right at bashing people up, but they don't know if I can do the other stuff. And I can.
Even through my college years, I was trying out plays and shows, but I never really thought it made much sense to try to be an actor. I thought it was foolish, really.
I've always wanted to work with Cameron Crowe. I've auditioned for him several times for various projects over the last ten years, and I've always admired the way he worked with me.
I would kill to be on 'Dexter,' and I would double kill to be on 'True Blood.' I would pay them to let me come be a vampire or a vampire victim. No joke!
Not by any means do I think that I'm The Rock or Mark Wahlberg. I understand that I'm not like them, being a leading guy, but I'm a great comedy sidekick, and, who knows, I can be in the X-Men or something.
I think it would be amazing to be a character actor and still be a lead now and then in movies.
I did follow 'Game of Thrones.' I'm incredibly jealous of that cast. I mean, I would have loved to have been on that.
All actors are looking for that role that's going to define who they are. When it happens, it's a good thing.
There is an endless range of parts I have not played. I would love to do a whole slew of period pieces. I also used to do a lot of stage work, and I would like to go back to that from time to time.
Every young male actor dreams of being James Bond in an action movie. And that's their first role. But the truth is, when it comes down to it, that's not relatable.
It's not my goal to be a famous actor.
I can do so many accents that I'll never be able to use. There aren't casting calls for a black guy to play a Scottish highlander. I can hope. I've got my brogue ready. I just need the opportunity!
For a New York actor, there are two things you look forward to - getting your SAG card and being on 'Law and Order.'
Every actor gets an image without wanting one. A lot of romantic heroes want an action hero tag, but they are unable to succeed even though their films are good.
