I think that always makes it fun, trying to create a heroic character and putting your own twist on it and injecting your own personality into it.
As an actor, you can have your own backstory and prepare all the details that you need to know for your character.
If I like it, if I think the character is going to be fun, if I think the story is good and if it appeals to me, then I want to do it.
I look for characters that are fun and that I'm going to have fun playing. By the way, that's whether it's drama, sci-fi, action, comedy, family movies or action-comedy. I just always want to have fun doing it. That's the bottom line.
When you're in sync with the director, on the type of movie you want to make, the arc of the characters, how the characters intertwine and interact, plotlines and story, and things like that, it really makes a difference.
