If I can, I would like to do as many different roles in a year because then there is no stagnation. That used to happen when I played one role in a serial for years. When a show goes on for years and is delivering ratings, you didn’t get the chance to take up other roles and shows.
An actor is an impersonator; he plays many different roles. If you played the same role all the time, God – that’d be a boring career. When you take on different roles and become a different person, that’s called acting… It’s a challenge.
Sexiness has its different roles.
Different roles call for different aspects or different faces of Sterling to emerge.
In America, I am brown; I’m ‘of colour’, so I would be offered Latin roles, and I’ve fought against that. I don’t want to be put in a category, to be just offered the same sort of thing. For me, it’s all about different roles, telling the stories of the great writers.
As an actor, you always have aspirations to play different roles.
I don’t want to build any image for myself. I don’t want people to say, ‘He does only a certain type of role.’ I don’t want only to be the hero of the story. An actor’s weakness is the different roles that he can’t do. But I am keen to grab only those roles as I am here to challenge myself.
Music is a really great creative tool for me, for different roles.
I like to play different roles in TV serials and do not want to create a particular image.

I have tried to look different and play different roles through my life because I am passionate about my work.
I always keep myself open to different roles because I believe by taking up a variety of roles, one’s true potential is unearthed.
I don’t feel that any kind of narrow stereotypes are representative of the work I’ve done, nor the range of the audience that work has found. I’ve played lots of different roles, and they’ve connected with lots of different people.
Having spent almost 25 years in different roles within Investor, I have truly enjoyed working with creating long-term value in our companies.
I am happy with all the films I’ve done. I have not become the victim of an image. I have managed to do different roles, and I am proud of that.
There’s a side to you as an actor, a selfish side, that wants to go on and play different roles.
It’s very interesting because as an actor, you play a litany of different roles, but to play both of them within the same day multiple times, in quick successions, it’s different and sort of a really rare opportunity that I was initially terrified by and a little bit daunted by.
TV doesn’t have variety. It’s a fact that you don’t have different roles to perform. You get similar characters only.
I never want to play the same character twice. I like to do different roles. I have fun with that.
I sometimes want to do totally different roles. I don’t always want to play ‘wholesome.’
I admire actors that consistently challenge themselves and play a wide range of different roles. Every actor has a reason for being an actor… it’s boring to play the same person over and over again. People like Daniel Day Lewis, who completely transform time and time again, I look up to.
Because I’ve done so many different roles, I don’t want to repeat myself. It’s getting harder and harder to find something interesting. You never know – I might never make a film again.
I am looking for different roles as many writers are coming up with the same kind of characters.
Playing character roles gives me the freedom to try out different roles, including negative ones or elderly ones. When one is playing the lead role, clearly there are limitations and responsibilities.
I was always very detail-oriented, and in the time I spent in different roles – the elected official, the campaign manager – I had a tendency to want to push the creation of the product and really work on the critical path that would get to product.
We’ve never had twin infants on set in all kinds of different roles.
I don’t see anything wrong with my films in 2016, except maybe ‘Kadalai’ and ‘Parandhu Sella Vaa.’ I did do a lot of different roles.
I studied theater in college, and I really wanted to be an actress and play a lot of different roles. Then I made landing on a television comedy my main focus.
Typecasting is an interesting thing because, in a way, if you’re good at something, you’re going to work at that thing. In other ways, you constantly have to change people’s opinion of you as one thing, especially if you want to play different roles. You have to shatter that image sometimes.
I want to do roles that will challenge me. I’m definitely interested in period pieces. But I definitely don’t want to limit myself. I’m very open to different roles.
There’s no such thing as too late. There are different roles for different ages, assuming an actress has something to offer. There aren’t many Helen Mirrens and Meryl Steeps, and it takes a lot of talent to get to that level. I hope I have it. That’s the model I aspire to if I’m lucky enough. It’s all about luck.
The actors that inspire me are the comedians and the people able to shape-shift into different roles and into different media.
I’m always trying to look for different roles.
Sometimes you have to re-invent yourself in this business in order to be accepted in different roles.
I remember that my mom, my dad and I would play different roles in mock debates, where one of us would be the moderator, one of us would be my dad – frequently not my dad – and then one of us would play his opponent.
While I feel that I have a great reservoir to draw from as an actor for lots of different roles, it is difficult because it can be an industry where it’s people’s jobs to thin-slice you really quickly and try to fit you into a niche in the market.
I’ve become so earthy. And I never was earthy. I’m doing all kinds of different roles which are not at all like the intellectual and the legal mind of Ben Stone.
I try to avoid typecasting by doing different roles.
Part of what’s interesting about the ‘Star Wars’ world is, villains are complex, obviously, and they occupy, as in life, different roles within different organizations.
I judge movies on how much fun I had while I was doing them. I had a great time on ‘The Right Stuff.’ Doing that was fantastic. And there was the year I did ‘The Rookie’ and ‘Far From Heaven,’ which was amazing because those two different roles were just so far apart.
