Roles Quotes

I’m open to doing any kind of role and any kind of genre as long as it’s interesting and as long as I feel it could be a great character to play. I never take into my own personal opinions or my own public image into account when I chose movie roles Picture Quote #1

You know, right now, they say - I don’t know who says this, but somebody told me - there’s three male roles to every female role. And I guess I’d work on evening that up. Making great roles for women. It’s just such a huge challenge Picture Quote #1

I think you’re just always trying to find really great, interesting female roles. That’s the thing for me. You do have to think about what you’re signing up for Picture Quote #1

For nearly eight decades, I’ve had the great fortune of playing thousands of roles before millions of people Picture Quote #1

With film roles, it just has to be a character either I haven’t done before, or a role with somebody really interesting or with an interesting person or group of people Picture Quote #1

I’ve only auditioned for one non-culturally specific role. I went through drama school and studied classic texts and played lead roles in ‘Measure for Measure’ and ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ alongside a very culturally diverse group of acting students. But as soon as we graduate and enter the industry, all of those roles fall away Picture Quote #1

I’m basically a movie actor now, and my big roles are mostly horror movies - unless I’m doing a guest star or something - and occasionally I try to get back into television Picture Quote #1

Television is a lot more fast-paced, where with films, you really have the ability to get to know your characters. When I was doing guest star roles, I was only one, like, one episode of a thirty minute to an hour show, so you don’t really have time to get to know my characters Picture Quote #1

Actually, guest star roles are really hard. Since you have to walk into a show where the cast has been working together for a long period of time, it can be a real challenge. And you have to feel your way around that while still making an impact on the overall effect of the show Picture Quote #1

I’m quite lucky in that at certain angles I look all right, and at others I don’t look so good, which enables me to play some leading roles and some stranger, more ‘character’-type parts. I wouldn’t say I’m the conventional handsome Hollywood leading man Picture Quote #1

Robert Taylor was not only a splendid actor in a wide variety of roles but one of the most handsome men in the western world Picture Quote #1

I always had a larger view. I’m interested in real life - my family, my friends. I have tried never to define myself by my success, whatever that is. My happiness is way beyond roles and awards Picture Quote #1

I grew up a happy kid in Toronto. I’ve never suffered. I’ve never even had a real job! But I understand sadness and striving, and those two things tie into all the roles that I’ve played Picture Quote #1

I usually don’t know how to fight hard for roles. I’ve certainly sent a passionate letter or two ... which always leads nowhere Picture Quote #1

We don’t have enough Latinos on TV just getting cast in supporting roles; the idea of having your own show named after you seemed like such a long shot Picture Quote #1

It was inevitable at some point that I would bump into one of my father’s plays. The reality of the situation is that I’m a jobbing actor, and any actor would give their eye-teeth to have one of those roles. It’s a no-brainer! I’m pleased the stars have aligned around ‘Arcadia.’ Picture Quote #1

When I was trying to find work after drama school in London, it felt like the same actors always got the plum roles, especially in television. We have a smaller market place, vastly fewer drama-producing networks, and they seem to compete for the same established names for those projects Picture Quote #1
