Playing Batman is an actor's challenge. First, it's different; then, you have to reach a multi-level audience. The kids take it straight, but for adults, we have to project it further.
For me, it's first about the characters. I look for a character who is intriguing and challenging and different from what I've done before.
I had a great time working with Denis [Villeneuve] and the whole group. It was a very different kind of a part [in Story of Your Life] than I've played in a while. But I had great fun; and yes, it was really nice not to have to answer to anybody about that.
I will certainly continue in football in a different role. I will continue with my contractual, publicity and managerial commitments and finish my studies for coaching.
My look is very different in 'Main Hoon Na.' I don't look like the same Suniel Shetty.
Certainly my time on 'Revenge' was great; it was a different character I'd never played before.
I like the idea of doing a part which, as a straight guy, is really different to me. I'd just see doing a gay kiss, and a gay role, as something different. Plus I have plenty of gay mates, so I could probably practice with them.
It was really fun to play a period piece because I've never done that before and it's completely different.
I've never done a period piece or a comedy, and that could be something truly different for me.
Working as a producer, an arranger, and, in some cases, as a writer for some other people gave me a super different perspective.
As an actor, you get a bit itchy to do something entirely different.
I loved my role in 'Learning to Drive.' It was so different.
The vampire was a complete change from the usual romantic characters I was playing, but it was a success.
My role was very good and different in 'Khamoshi.'
Material Girls was so different for me, I'd never done a teen movie.
You cannot keep doing the same things. According to the situation, your role changes in one-day cricket, especially in a phase like the Powerplay. If I bowl four spells, four times I will be playing a different role.
I played a homosexual bodyguard in 'The Last Detective,' and that was quite a pleasure to do something slightly different. I was a very camp bodyguard!
It was a stroke of luck when I worked in 'Agneepath.' It was a great role, something different for me.
With Eclipse, I felt like I was doing a completely different movie and a completely different character. So, yeah, it was nice and challenging.
Right before 'Nebraska,' I went to Ireland to do this little movie called 'Run & Jump.' It was so far away from home, I felt a real safety to explore a different kind of role. I loved how it turned out.
When the Swing Lo Magellan touring wound up, it felt like the end of something for me, and I needed a break from touring. But really, the co-writing and producing I did after this gave me a different perspective on this whole thing. To me, that was like being a different spoke on the wheel.
