"Casting directors now just see me as the hard-core sniper or prison guard"

- Barry Pepper

About this Quote

In this quote, actor Barry Pepper is reflecting on how his career has actually evolved with time. He describes that casting directors now have a specific image of him in their minds - that of a difficult and intimidating character, such as a sniper or prison guard. This suggests that Pepper has been typecast in these types of functions, and it may be difficult for him to break out of this stereotype. It also talks to the limited series of functions that are readily available for stars, and how they can become pigeonholed into particular types of characters. Overall, this quote highlights the difficulties and restrictions that stars face in the show business.

"I prayed to dispel my fear, until suddenly, and I do not know how the idea came to me, I began to pray for others. I prayed for everyone who came into my thoughts - - people with whom I had traveled, those who had been in prison with me, my school friends of years ago. I do not know how long I continued my prayer, but this I do know - - my fear was gone! Interceding for others had released me!"
