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

I'm a character actor.

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.

Robin is like a method actor, he comes in dialed-in to character and he's very intense. He's great to work with because he's very professional and he's very efficient. It's a very fun session to do.

What's great about being a character actor is you know that you can survive forever. It's not about the gloss of your eyebrows.
