There are Lesser roles, though no small actors.

Anton Lesser is a mature English actor I admire. I see in him a kindred spirit. He is in his early seventies and still acting. I am in my sixties. He and I find common ground in our character types. He shines in roles as the mature father figure. His sensitive portrayal of Chief Superintendent Reginald Bright in the crime drama Endeavour is spell-bounding. The character is a mature authority figure. At face value, he is genial, soft-spoken, someone you would see as a nice guy. However, there is an edge to Chief Superintendent Bright. He came up through the ranks when corruption was rife in the police force. He has skeletons in his closet. In the twilight of his career, he tries to set things right before he retires. Bright is an antihero. He is a good and decent man but has a checkered past. It is hard for the viewer not to sympathize with him.

I am suited to the same character type. I am well cast in roles where I play the mature father figure, a father figure who can be a pleasant or likeable man or a man with a sinister side to his character. To date, my screen roles included being a respected newspaper editor and mentor to a journalism student. Beneath his good-natured outward appearance, the editor was a serial killer. He was a tragic antagonist. In a feature horror film, I played a timid, harmless older man who suffered the misfortune of crossing paths with a demon god. The demon god possessed the formerly nervous man and compelled him to commit several murders.

In contrast to these characters, in another part, I played an Orthodox Christian priest, a kind man who operates a youth ministry. His goodness shone through; he was a good and decent man who cared for his parishioners' spiritual and material welfare. Like Anton Lesser, I bring the nice guy feeling to my characters (the mature father type) even when the role has an edge. I am at my best in such roles. In the future, I hope to get more bookings in such parts.
