I have absolutely no interest in playing the young male lead around which a story happens.

It's quite a thrill to be playing a hero.

I want to play real characters rather than young leads in very plotty things. I want variety.

I'm trying to play parts which are a little more out there, but I want variety.

The endless teen franchises that come out of Hollywood... more often than not, the central character doesn't have any discernible character traits. They're just the young, good-looking guy who goes on this journey. They're always played by fantastic young actors, but ultimately, they're not very interesting characters.

Part of me looks forward to a time when I have a family and a partner and I take less of my nourishment from social occasions. Having a little unit around me will make my working life easier, because it is quite lonely otherwise.
