There aren't a lot of movie star males around my age that I can play opposite.
I was always kind of serious. It's nice to be able to play a complete bad boy who's the polar opposite to who I am.
It is as polar opposite as it comes for the man who was Edna Turnblad in 'Hairspray' to come back as Sweeney Todd.
If one sibling does something, the other will fill the opposite role. I found, at least for my brother and I in real life, that seems to be a thing.
When I left drama school, my fear was that I'd get pigeon holed into comic acting and I did so much to counter it that I got stuck in the opposite.
I actually prefer getting into roles that are the polar opposite of me; that's why I've done so many dark and dreary things.
I met Toni, my wife, when we were cast opposite each other in a musical.
I'm always looking for a chance to play somebody who's completely opposite of me, just because I find it more interesting.
I've played quite a lot of crooks and killers, and that's quite interesting. Then Dumbledore is the complete opposite, isn't he? He's a nice old man.
I've always been drawn to playing characters that are a completely the opposite of myself.
The way I go about choosing roles is basically by just trying to pick the complete opposite of the last thing I did, or if it has someone else who I really have wanted to work with.
I try to keep things as varied as possible in my career, and after playing something as fun and over the top as Maryann on 'True Blood,' I wanted to find something antithetical to that.
I love playing characters who are opposite of who I am.
Character-wise, I try to always switch it up. Whatever I'm doing now, I try to do the complete opposite next.
