Any comedic roles that I've gone out for usually end up going to a white woman or a gay man instead.
I would get a lot of roles for the ethnic friend and then I would go in for that and not be ethnic enough. They wanted an Indian accent. They wanted something more very visually, clearly specific.
I think back at the time, if it had been 1988, I would have thought Michael and Sarah probably would have been cast but I don't think, I think it's much better that the girl is younger and if Sarah would have been 26 or 27 then.
I don't think it's the case that 'posh actors' get more work than others.
I once lost a role because I was told I am fair. They were looking for a village woman who is darker.
There is no question that the older you get, the fewer good roles there are.
I usually get cast in more dark, dramatic things, and I would love to do something more comedic.
For someone who doesn't have a family associated with the industry, they obviously find it tougher to get cast in a film, simply because opportunities are taken up by people who are given preference.
Getting that debut film is definitely harder than someone who has got a known last name. I mean some star kids don't even audition.
