There aren't a lot of movie star males around my age that I can play opposite.
I was always kind of serious. It's nice to be able to play a complete bad boy who's the polar opposite to who I am.
It is as polar opposite as it comes for the man who was Edna Turnblad in 'Hairspray' to come back as Sweeney Todd.
When I left drama school, my fear was that I'd get pigeon holed into comic acting and I did so much to counter it that I got stuck in the opposite.
If one sibling does something, the other will fill the opposite role. I found, at least for my brother and I in real life, that seems to be a thing.
I actually prefer getting into roles that are the polar opposite of me; that's why I've done so many dark and dreary things.
I met Toni, my wife, when we were cast opposite each other in a musical.
I'm always looking for a chance to play somebody who's completely opposite of me, just because I find it more interesting.
I've played quite a lot of crooks and killers, and that's quite interesting. Then Dumbledore is the complete opposite, isn't he? He's a nice old man.
I've always been drawn to playing characters that are a completely the opposite of myself.
The way I go about choosing roles is basically by just trying to pick the complete opposite of the last thing I did, or if it has someone else who I really have wanted to work with.
I try to keep things as varied as possible in my career, and after playing something as fun and over the top as Maryann on 'True Blood,' I wanted to find something antithetical to that.
I love playing characters who are opposite of who I am.
Character-wise, I try to always switch it up. Whatever I'm doing now, I try to do the complete opposite next.
