I was nervous when I first started True Blood because if you do a play or a movie, you know the complete arc of the character. You can see the end. But with a show like True Blood, you don't know what's going to happen.
What intrigues me is that people kind of naturally want to label or pigeonhole the characters. They want to make it easy for themselves to go, "All right. There's the good guy, there's the bad guy, there's the girl. Okay, I get it now." But life isn't one-dimensional. The world isn't simply divided into good versus evil. I think we're all capable of both. So any time the hero does something I'm not crazy about, or the bad guy does something I can relate to, I'll find it more interesting.
All the characters I play are all inside of me in a way, and they're all different, the darkness, the lightness, whatever that is.
Whether I'm interested [in something] or not, step one is read the script and figure out if a character is someone I'd want to explore or not.
I'm an actor and I love to find new collaborations and new characters where I can grow as an actor and human being.
