I would love to do more movies, but the reality is women have many more opportunities on television to play a greater variety of characters.
Throughout my career, I was to be cast as a frontier girl, an aristocrat, an Arabian, a Eurasian, a Polynesian, and a Chinese.
I don't get to play the same role over and over in different movies. The roles that I get to play are quite varied, which is great.
I feel like it's really important for an actor to play different roles so people can see, "Oh, he can play that guy or he can play this guy." You're not just "THAT guy," that cowboy guy, that whatever guy. Then you are limiting yourself.
I've been lucky enough to play many different roles from darker characters to family orientated shows to comedy.
As an actor, director or writer you never want to be doing one thing. To show that diversity and be able to do more than one thing, and to play different characters, is part of the job that I'm supposed to do. Hopefully, I can continue doing that.
As an actor it's like, go with whatever excites you as an actor. What are you're going to invest yourself in as a character? What are you going to get into? Have a variety of characters to play.
Sometimes I think it's easier to play someone who's very, very different from yourself. Besides, I wouldn't want to play people who are just like me; that would get awfully boring very fast!
I just like the prospect of playing lots of different types of characters and just the opportunity to challenge yourself, do something different and surprise people.
I like playing a variety of characters. I feel like I've been able to play different kinds of characters - I've done a lot of period pieces - but I've never had to play the same type of character too much.
Certainly, I look for different characters 'cause I always like to keep people guessing, and I also don't like to get typecast.
I make no secret of the fact that writing She-Hulk can serve as an opportunity for me to sneak in some really cool characters that I personally love. Some will be obvious fits, but others will come out of left field - but that's what's fun about the Marvel U - the bench is deep.
What I discovered is I don't like to repeat lead characters because one of the most pleasurable things in a book to me is learning about the lead.
I want to play many different characters.
It's taken me a long time to get work, so that's why I like to play really different characters that are really foreign to me. I want it to be something great, and I want to have a great experience.
I love being able to play as many different characters, in as many different worlds as I possibly can. That's what I really enjoy.
I want the chance to play very different characters, and I've always wanted to do more films.
I want to play a variety of different characters in different genres of film.
I will always cherish the year 2019 in my life because I've literally lived out of a suitcase, travelled from one set to another and played such a variety of characters, which is a dream for any actor.
We all have different sides of our personalities, so I'd love to play some more different parts too.
Acting-wise, I've had all these experiences. Yet when I look at certain people whose careers I admire, they've gotten to play so many different characters.
It has to be said that the bad guys are often more interesting than the good guys because you get to indulge part of your nature that hopefully gets subsumed most of the time. But I just like playing interesting characters, and variety's the spice of that, as it is with life, I suppose.
I don't want to get into a comfort zone. I am getting characters of varying shades, which I believe will help me grow as an actor.
I am so lucky that throughout my career I've been able to play such different characters.
I was looking to play different characters, and films didn't offer many choices.
