The Hollywood star in the cover image is a revered acting icon in the entertainment industry. He has built an illustrious career through the production of incredible works in which he lit up viewers’ screens, showcasing his fantastic range as an actor.
Mostly known for taking the film industry, in particular, by storm, the star has also crossed over into TV and done pretty well for himself there, too, winning a Golden Globe for an HBO production he starred in. Interestingly, before embarking on the world of television, the blue-eyed actor never saw himself doing series.
During a past interview, the interviewer had asked the Golden Globe winner what his response to being offered TV roles would have been years before he decided to do TV. He answered:
“If my agent had called me and said, ‘I think you should do a series.’ I would have fired my agent…”
He changed his mind, in part, due to his loving wife, who works as an actress too. The Hollywood star explained that he noticed what a good time his spouse had while starring on her show and attending award shows where he would hold her dress for her. Though still reluctant, he called his agent and agreed to try his hand at television.
Now, he admits, the decision was one of his best moves, and he can’t envision a world where he stops accepting TV roles. As far as fellow stars in the industry whom he took inspiration from when he was a budding young actor, the famous entertainer mentioned Hollywood legend Meryl Streep:
“You know, when I started to see her film work, you know, she does one part, and then she does another part, and it’s like barely recognizable, and to me, that was what I had always envisioned being an actor was, to be able to put on these different hats and become different people.”
