Every movie I've done, it's always the same criteria: finding a great story, and finding a great part to play.
The reason I chose the movies that I did was based on where they were being filmed.
What I tried to do is deliver movies that have worked for me more than once.
When I choose a movie, I'll ask myself: 'Is this a movie I want to see?'
A hit for me is if I enjoy the movie, if I personally enjoy the movie.
I judge my film choices based on the director, and then I see how much the story has affected me when I read it or when I hear it in the narration. Then comes how important my role is in it, but primarily director, script, and then role.
My criteria for doing theater has always been slightly different than my criteria with movies, in that there are a lot of reasons to do films, having to do with location, money, and first and foremost having to do with script and role and director.
I refuse some movies. I cannot always give reasons why I refuse. Sometimes, I refuse just because I feel like refusing! I always look at my role, and never bother about who the hero will be when choosing a movie.
I can't just say yes to a movie. I have to be really passionate about it.
