Every movie I've done, it's always the same criteria: finding a great story, and finding a great part to play.
The reason I chose the movies that I did was based on where they were being filmed.
What I tried to do is deliver movies that have worked for me more than once.
When I choose a movie, I'll ask myself: 'Is this a movie I want to see?'
I judge my film choices based on the director, and then I see how much the story has affected me when I read it or when I hear it in the narration. Then comes how important my role is in it, but primarily director, script, and then role.
A hit for me is if I enjoy the movie, if I personally enjoy the movie.
My criteria for doing theater has always been slightly different than my criteria with movies, in that there are a lot of reasons to do films, having to do with location, money, and first and foremost having to do with script and role and director.
I refuse some movies. I cannot always give reasons why I refuse. Sometimes, I refuse just because I feel like refusing! I always look at my role, and never bother about who the hero will be when choosing a movie.
I can't just say yes to a movie. I have to be really passionate about it.
