I actually did an Agatha Christie monologue for my audition showcase at Guildhall, and that's how I got my agent. Some people said 'ooh it's old hat' and 'too risky'. Some people think she's all about the narrative and thriller aspect at the expense of character and I disagree. I did it anyway and it worked well.
The thing with 'The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo' is that is it's like an Agatha Christie plot, and an investigating journalist is also a classic character.
I have always regarded Mr. Bean as a timeless, ageless character, and I would rather he be remembered as a character mostly in his 30s and 40s.

I have no issue with Rosa Parks. But I do have an issue with liberals trying to canonize her in order to glorify themselves and legitimize their route to 'progress' through political and racial agitation instead of hard work and character.
I am happy with my role in 'Taxiwala.' It gave me a chance to do a character that was fun. I didn't have to agonize over every scene.

When you talk about a daily soap, it means one would be seen 28 days a month, which requires 30 days of shooting. So an actor being seen on a show airing four days a week and being telecast thrice a day comes along with a baggage of the character.
Back in the mid '90s, I went to a film festival, and they were airing 'Central Park West' at the same time as this cute little romantic comedy movie called 'French Exit,' and I got to go from one theater where I was goofy, falling over myself, to this kind of evil vixen kind of character.

I'll always watch anything that Steve Coogan does in the character of Alan Partridge.
The founding father of Albanian literature is the nineteenth-century writer Naim Frasheri.
