Action is drama. If we cannot make the audience laugh, smile or cry with us, we are not actors.
I think the serious roles impact people the most.
I've been trying to make a difference as an actor. I want to play characters that move people, have them look at their lives differently, or give them an escape.
If an actor can emotionally bond with the viewer, then it does not matter if he is handsome or ordinary looking.
The real actor has a direct line to the collective heart.
Hopefully what you do as an actor is strong enough and has enough of an impact that people get what you're trying to communicate.
I'm often given parts that aren't as big as they are colorful, but people remember them. When it's a minor or supporting role, you learn to make the most of what you're given. I can make two lines seem like 'Hamlet'.
Actors do all kinds of roles, but once in a while, we also want to do a meaningful film.
