I find directing more satisfying.
It's absolutely true that it's almost impossible to play a character without having any affection for him.
I think that you can take things personally or get hurt feelings as a result of something not working out just because your psyche said it should or you deserve it, or whatever it is.
My brother had boxes of comic books. He was really the collector.
I gravitate towards anything that has a grain of comedy to it.
In the meantime, I just have to create those realistic goals about the fact that I don't have a ton of options as an actor who's been on a science fiction show for 8 years.
