It's sort of cliche, but when you're playing drunk, your character is trying to appear sober.

Certain media attracts more pulpy or low-brow things, especially when they're young. Finding the best story, in any particular medium, is going to be as good, in any other medium.

I'm an actor, in particular, that likes to have a mask or something that can help me distance myself from the character. Like the moustache or an accent.

Bad criticism has followed things like comic books or TV, and they put down a medium. A medium cannot be inherently good or bad.

It's sort of cliche, but when you're playing drunk, your character is trying to appear sober.

Having an opportunity to play different characters, and work in different mediums, that's what's fun. The worst question you could be asked is, "What do you like better, film, television or theater?"

I don't know an actor who hasn't let himself down at some point. I imagine it's the same in politics. There's always the potential to self sabotage.
