I went door-to-door selling cable television subscriptions when I was in college. I found it incredibly difficult, doing that kind of sales work. I would have thought I'd be good at it, but I wasn't. It's so easy in acting. Everything falls into place when they write that you're a salesman. People just say yes, and then it's great.

I really don't make a concerted effort to try to find a type of role. Maybe I've just done enough of them now where people are like, Oh, it's the guy that's in a swirling vortex of despair, send it to Kinnear! I don't really know, but it does seem to be a recurring theme.
