“While I feel that I have a great reservoir to draw from as an actor fo...” — Matt Bomer Quote

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.

When I was 8 years old, I asked my parents to get me head shots, and they were like, 'What are you talking about? Go outside and play!' I'm so glad they did.

There were, and still are, a lot of different points of view in the gay community. It's not everybody holding hands and singing 'Kumbaya.' People have very different perspectives.

I've been handling guns since I was a kid.

As far as I'm concerned... there's a side to an actor that wants to go on and play a thousand different roles.

The question is: How are you able to organize your information, your tasks, and get stuff done spanning those different roles? Nobody lives in isolation.

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.

What I have come to realize over the twenty years when I have worked in different roles as a legislator is that no legislation is as good as the enforcement of it.
