As an actor, one should be open to all kinds of roles.

My dream as an actor growing up was always to challenge myself to different genres, different roles, and it's actually rare that an actor's given that opportunity to do that.

That's what I love about acting. There's never a set role. You can be a firefighter, you can be a baseball player, you can be whatever you want in the acting world. I think I've found my calling.

Great film roles, they always take you to another place. I'd love to do more of that, but I keep doing lots of voiceovers, some TV spots, and some film roles have come along, so I'm okay.

When people ask, 'What role are you dying to play?' I always say, 'The one being written for me right now.'

I want to continue to play characters that are not like me at all, and transform.

I admire actors that consistently challenge themselves and play a wide range of different roles. Every actor has a reason for being an actor... it's boring to play the same person over and over again. People like Daniel Day Lewis, who completely transform time and time again, I look up to.

I didn't know what types of movies I wanted to do. I want to do things that are different. I want to take my time with each role.

For an actor, to be able to do something different and fun every week is an incredible treat.

You can play yourself and make a very good career out of it. Do the same type of role, the daring, good-looking, dashing kind of guy.

For me personally, it doesn't matter if I'm in a short film, a commercial, a digital series, a TV show, or a movie. Acting is acting. You have to embrace whatever medium you happen to be in and not worry about everything else around it.

For me, as an actor, it is brilliant that I can do both song-dance films and also something like 'NH10.' It is versatility which every actor aspires.
