I have no issue with being a character actor. If you've been around enough that people are able to segregate you into that category, it means you're working. So that's good!
The idea for actors is to make a living telling stories, so if you can do that, then you're way ahead of the game.
I always wanted to be Gene Hackman and I always wanted to be, you know... I wanted to be one of these guys. I always wanted to be Bob Duvall.
I'm very proud of 'Platoon,' but at the end of it I was done. I was done.
I'm just really proud of 'Dead Head Fred.'
