Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me.

I'm a character actor.

My journey has been that of a character actor.

To be a character actor is to be open, to be a chameleon.

I am a character actor. I'm not a presence actor. And those exist all over the place.

I never intended to cast a well-known actor. A known actor comes with baggage, and Superman as a character is much larger than any actor. I wanted him to come just with the baggage of the superhero. That's enough history to contend with.
