William James Remar Quotes

• I was really thrilled and honored and wanted to do the best job I could. But afterwards, I started getting a lot of bad guy offers and became concerned about being typecast. I did not want to be seen as that kind of guy all the time because a lot of those roles are not well written. They’re there merely to drive the action and give the protagonist something to do. So it becomes incredibly repetitive and boring. (On 48 Hours)
• That’s why I take on a variety of roles. I’ve played everything from a gay dancer in Cruising (1980) to Dutch Schultz in The Cotton Club (1984). James Remar is a student of life. I’m expressing myself by acting. I’m learning about myself and making a living. I hope to do much more of it, so I can contribute my share to the world.
• Any good actor is a character actor.
