I always considered myself as a character actor. I always try to be versatile to show different sides of human experience.
I'm an actor. I'll take a lead if it's offered. The really good actors can fill a character, no matter what the role is. A good leading man is a character actor; a good character actor can be a leading man.
Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me.
To be a character actor is to be open, to be a chameleon.
I have always weirdly seen myself as more of a character actor. I have never been suave. I could never see myself playing James Bond. I suppose I could fake it, but I am certainly not James Bond in real life.
