As an actor, I look for the part itself. I look for the story and the role. If there's no money, but it's a good part in a good role, I'll still consider it. Basically, the worse the role is, the worse the story is, and the more they'll have to pay me. It's a simple correlation.

Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun

Producers might cast an actor because he is too tall next to the leading lady, who is too short, or they might not cast your guy because he's blond, and they wanted a brunette. There's all kinds of reasons why they want one person over another. I don't worry about it, but it can hurt sometimes if you really wanted something, if you really went after something.

Genres pop up and get hot and then they die down.

I see parody as another form of comedy.

I've always enjoyed playing a little left of center characters. Otherwise I'd be on a soap opera.

People who sleep around to get roles are frail and scared and most likely without talent. It's their own little horror show that only they can deal with.
