When I was younger and studying acting, I never ever saw myself in the sitcom world; it was drama that really turned me on and still does.
I feel more comfortable in drama. Comedy is a high-wire act. I find it stressful. It's a precision science in a way.
I like character-driven stuff. It doesn't matter, the size of the part.
I am more comfortable doing a drama.
Definitely for myself, I find myself gravitating towards dramatic work. In terms of sitcoms, you know, I always tell my agent I don't want to be seen.
I love comedy, but I actually do prefer drama because I am already animated as a human being.
I rather go to see a good play than be in one.
After 'NewsRadio,' I did say to my agent, 'If I get another TV show, I'd want to do a drama.' Then I got offered the part on 'ER,' and I was on that show for eight years.
I'm not a big, three-hour-play, Ibsen-revival kind of man.
I love comedy, but I feel like I need to keep doing drama when I can.
I'm a total one-hour drama addict. I think when you're a comedian, you tend towards dramas because that's the less stressful thing to watch.
I want to shift my career back to shows like The Knick. I prefer the classic drama structure.
I would like to do some serious drama. I really connect with emotional characters who have struggles and a lot of emotion and colors. I don't really want to do anything smiley and cheesy; it's not really my personality when I'm working.
One episode of 'Game of Thrones' is equivalent to my film 'Centurion' in budget and scope. 'Centurion' has a longer running time, but that's kind of the only difference, and I think people now, if they want drama, they watch TV.
I loved comedy, but I never saw myself as a sitcom guy. I envisioned myself doing an hour drama or doing movies.
