Character Actor Quotes

I’m a character actor but unlike a lot of character actors, I don’t look radically different from film to film and there was a bunch of them at once Picture Quote #1

I was never a leading man. I’ve always been in the outer concentric circles in the company, being a character actor, which is a good place to be. It gives you that diversity Picture Quote #1

What’s great about being a character actor is you know that you can survive forever. It’s not about the gloss of your eyebrows Picture Quote #1

I think I enjoy working obviously as a lead, but also you know I feel I’m also a character actor as well, so I enjoy approaching various projects in all sort of capacities. Any film I have been able to do I feel very fortunate to have been a part of Picture Quote #1

Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me Picture Quote #1

I think every character actor at some stage likes to carry a film. It can be extremely liberating to just come in for a scene or two and do your thing. But I find it frustrating if I’m just doing little bits here and there for too long Picture Quote #1

Fortunately and unfortunately, people don’t see me as a character actor. They see me as a leading man or nothing, which makes it really hard to get work Picture Quote #1

I think I would not be described as a character actor in that I don’t take on characteristics which are very alien to me Picture Quote #1

I’m a character actor, so I don’t take the hit if the movie’s bad, the lead does. So, I don’t want to be the lead. He takes the hit, I don’t Picture Quote #1

Character actors are becoming a thing of the past. They’re just going by the wayside. They’re just cutting through that caliber of acting Picture Quote #1

In real life, every person is the leading man or woman. We don’t think of ourselves as supporting or character actors Picture Quote #1

Age is as much an asset for character players as it is for good wine. Human experiences, both good and bad, leave their marks on one’s face and bearing. A few lines on the face and a few gray hairs coupled with the idiosyncrasies an actor adopts throughout life help out round out the actor’s personality. So far as I’m concerned, the older a character actor gets, the firmer his position is Picture Quote #1

I love villains. You know, I am a character actor, and any chance to get to play a really outrageous villain. I like to play that Picture Quote #1

I always change my words in everything I do. I make the language fit, because I know the character from the inside out. Often character actors are not in a position to do that, but I do it. I don’t change any cue and I never change anybody else’s lines, but I make my own words fit my mouth Picture Quote #1

I was never an ingenue. I’ve always just been a character actor. When I was younger, it was a real problem, because I was never pretty enough. It was hard, not just for the lack of work, but because you have to face up to how people are looking at you Picture Quote #1

I love ensemble pieces, I love being a part of the entire tapestry of a piece, but I think character actors do have a lot more fun, and there’s a versatility involved that’s challenging and fun, to come up to speed and do what’s required of you Picture Quote #1

I see myself as a character actor, and I’ve always been drawn to playing characters that are different from myself because acting is escapism for me. I’ve never been that comfortable playing people that are like me Picture Quote #1

I admire many actors, though I don’t think there’s anyone whose career I would want to mirror sort of by the beats. What I’m really looking to do is constantly defy expectations. I’m very curious to see if you can actually have a character actor and a movie star’s career combined Picture Quote #1

Well, I think probably when I first got in the business, I wasn’t thinking of being strictly a character actor. But I knew I wanted to be a working actor, and as the years have gone on, I just naturally evolved into that. Because, y’know, I’m not a leading guy. Never was Picture Quote #1

I’m not actually a psychopath. I don’t look evil. People don’t normally want to put me in the same kind of things afterward, so I’m looking forward to people taking a few risks and hopefully seeing me as the character actor that I think I am Picture Quote #1

I never really thought of myself as being an action hero or a leading man, or any of that. I’m a character actor Picture Quote #1

I really love being a character actor. I have to say I wish it were a little easier. There are still a lot of things that I don’t get, like I do wish I had more of my own Picture Quote #1

I was always a character actress and never a sex symbol. Even when I was the leading lady, I was a character actor Picture Quote #1

Well, I’ve always been a character actor, you know, and you always get your share of character actors who are bad guys Picture Quote #1

My approach to the work is the same, whether I had the lead or a supporting role. I consider myself a character actor in the true sense of the word. Unless I’m doing my autobiography, I’m playing a character Picture Quote #1

I look at it like, I’m just a character actor. If I get cast as the stoned sidekick, fine. But I just want to act Picture Quote #1

I think being a character actor is exciting in that it allows you to embody completely different things, whether it’s through wild accents or a crazy bad guy or a drunken good guy Picture Quote #1

I didn’t set out to be a villain in film. I’m a character actor, and if my first movie was a comedy, I could have played a geek just as well Picture Quote #1

I consider myself absolutely a character actor, and that’s what I want as a career. I don’t need to be the lead star or any of that, as long as I’m doing stuff that I’m proud of, really Picture Quote #1

You know when you watch old movies, it’s always the small parts you remember, the character actors who come in like a breath of fresh air Picture Quote #1
