I've been identified with James Bond or Thomas Crown for so long; suave, elegant, sophisticated men in suits. it's like you've been giving the same performance for 20 years.
There's no really signature Leo DiCaprio role, like Jack Nicholson is Jack Nicholson no matter what movie he's in.
We have such a long, familiar history with Peter Falk. The minute his mug is on that screen people smile.
'Star Trek' is still my signature role because once you do a 'Star Trek' series, it's never really out of the marketplace.
All actors are looking for that role that's going to define who they are. When it happens, it's a good thing.
Noah, from 'The Young Lions' (1958), was the best performance of my life. I couldn't have given more of myself. I'll never be able to do it again. Never.
Every actor is remembered for one particular film.
It's nice to have a signature role.
