A lot of people that make films say, 'We need this kind of character. Who's done it before? Get them to do it again.' That is exactly what actors are pushing against. It's kind of a cliche to talk about being stereotyped in that way, but it happens.
John C. ReillyMovies are this thing that came into my life, and it still feels pretend in some way. I kind of do this thing, and I never really accepted this idea that I'm a film actor. That's what I do. I feel like I'm a theater actor that started doing films. Most people have never seen me in a play. They're fun, though.
John C. ReillyWhenever I work on something, I try and throw everything I have at it. Then if the director finds it useful they use it, and if not, they ignore it!
John C. ReillyI give as much as I can, and it's up to someone else to turn it into a movie. Good luck to you!
