There's lots of incredible roles out there that I'd love to tackle, but there's a select group of actors I find myself gravitating towards, like Philip Seymour Hoffman or Sean Penn or Daniel Day-Lewis - real transformational actors.
I want what's mine. I see other actors who are doing very interesting roles, and I just want to continue to do things that are interesting, and things that people will go see in theaters.
I avoid roles that might send me down a road where I might end up being typecast.
Parents are flawed human beings who are given a role that more approximates that of God than of mere mortals.
I'm very proud of my roles. I enjoy the ability to touch millions ofpeople and, in some way, connect with them in ways that I cannotconnect with them in my normal, everyday life.
Churchgoers feel righteous, responsible, and obedient to God's will. They view anyone unlike themselves as devoid of values, and therefore unworthy of God's love. By denying God to all those who have strayed from the path of righteousness, the devout are unwittingly taking on themselves a role that belongs only to God.
EVOLUTIONARIES is going to help create a worldview that will influence our vision ofthe future ... and also our role in consciously participating in it.
I was lucky enough to have a plethora of types of roles before and during the horror movie part of my career.
I hope to find the roles that are age appropriate but not yearning to be younger, or parenting ad nauseam.
My role is to coach, encourage, inspire, motivate, and help people.

You're always looking for roles and other creatives who are going to be challenging to you, because you're always a better actor after the experience.
When I am playing a role far away from me with an accent that is not mine I always employ a dialect coach. I am almost always playing someone that has an accent that is not mine.
Actors don’t retire. They just get offered fewer roles.
Brad Dourif as Charles Lee Ray, it's impossible to imagine anyone else in that role. I mean, he's just so great. Over the course of the five movies, he always just takes it so seriously, doesn't condescend to the material, whatsoever and just treats it as if he was playing Hamlet.
I think being an actor in general is acknowledging that we are constantly playing different roles, that we have all these different parts of ourselves and instead of pretending that you are just one thing, as an actor you get to admit that you've got all this stuff going on.
I look to challenge myself with a character that's not like myself or anything I've done before, but I certainly don't reject roles based on how often I've done them.
We [Notekillers] aren't necessarily trying to be role models, but if we are, that's cool.
I did a 'Children of the Corn' remake for Sci Fi Channel. I play the Peter Horton role from the original, and Candace McClure from 'Battlestar Galactica' is my Linda Hamilton.
I wouldn't be where I am without these Funny or Die videos in general. When I was first starting out, I would take roles just to get the experience, but not exactly because I believed in the projects I was doing.

It's hard to win awards if there are no roles.
I'm not opposed to doing science fiction or comedy, but there has to be respect. I refuse to be the joke, the fat woman joke, in any movie. I've turned down roles.
I've always found a cornucopia of roles open to me. Wait--did I just say cornucopia? I think I meant plethora.
I've got quite a big fan base, and people like to see you do the same thing - that's why you get offered the same roles.
