Everybody gets typecast in movies, but you have to make wise choices. I'd say around 90 percent of movie casting is about the way you look, so you have to fight that. If producers had their way, I'd only be in action films, but I'm interested in a more varied career than that.

If you do well as an actor, a good director will pick up on it, and keep it in the film.

I don't think about better. You just want it to work. You want it to work and you have your guide with the script. You want it to exist and complete.
