When you are a character actor they trust you will go in and give them a full character and leave.

I'm a character actor, and I made a choice when I was young, after 'Mystic Pizza', not to go for the mainstream stuff, and to do a more eclectic kind of route.

I'll be working the rest of my life because I'm a character actor and don't have to worry about box office.

I found my niche as a character actor, and I've never felt like a movie star or teen idol and never wanted to.

Like De Niro. He's one of the best character actors we have ever had.

I am a method actor, but I'm also a film actor as well as a method actor. Characters that don't have humility, whether they are heroes or villains, are hard to relate to. All characters in every aspect of what we do should have humility. If they don't, then they're a cartoon character.
