It never occurred to me that Iโd be typecast, although I was. And I never thought of the role as a commercial product, because I wasโฆ well, I was playing this slightly messianic alien. He isnโt violent, he doesnโt get his leg over the girl, he doesnโt steal, and heโs rather wry, and adorable, and mysterious. Heโs lived for 900 years or something. He lives the life of the old patriarchs of the Old Testament. Thatโs not commercial. Heโs special.
