I want to play a character with grey shades.
I've been playing the bad guy in the last seven or eight projects I've done. I like it. It's a lot more interesting! Being the good guy gets a little stale after a while, you know?
Playing an unstable, bipolar, multiple-personality-disorder person is definitely up my alley.
I play a complicated position in an intensely team-oriented game.
As an actor, the second and last ones were interesting for me. Because those parts had the most change in playing someone who was both light and dark, sort of Jekyl and Hyde.
My career had been split pretty evenly between good guys and bad guys until I finally grew into myself enough to play a decent antihero, where you can combine the two.
I don't really have a lot of fun playing just straight good guys. It's not my thing. It's like Tom Hanks territory.
I think it's exciting to have a role with multiple layers.
The very first things that I did, even in theater, were bad guys. They are meaty roles for the most part. With the bad guy you have more freedom to experiment and go further out than with a good guy.
It's very hard to play the straight lead girl and still make her sparkly and fun and real.
It is very easy to play a sweet girl-next-door but difficult to portray a grey character.
It's so rare, especially as a younger actor, to find a role where it's not just one-dimensional and it's not just a stock leading man.
