How has a work actor changed over the 20 years you do?

I do the same job as I was doing 10 or 20 years ago, but people look at this work on different mediums: TVs, large screens, iPad screens, telephone screens and computer screens. But it's all the same work.

Does the explosion of streaming change how you approach your work?

No. For me, you tell a story that is captured on movie. You try to do the best you can tell this story. In the end, it does not matter where people watch it. This counts if they watch it. Hope you can do something that is quite exciting to watch. There are so many choices today. Twenty years ago, there were four or five channels. It is grown exponentially. In some ways, there are many more opportunities for actors. On the one hand in another way, it is more difficult to find material that will come out.

What is your dream of dream? Is it a multi-care television show? A big studio movie?

It's a bit of both. I lived both worlds. I made movies, big, some small. I made television series that traveled seven years and a television series that mounted one.Best scenario: I'm excited about my desire to work in the morning.

What does Peter Facinelli work in the morning?

I have a Harley. A Harley Lowrider 2010 I had fun driving. And then I have a Mopar Challenger 2010. A change of stick. It's fun to drive too.

I am a big fan of the cars of the 70s. They have this personality. The Mopar Challenger is a car from the 70s without the problems of the 70s. It has air conditioning and a radio, but it does not flee oil.

Are you already tired of the driving stick change at the?

I burned some transmissions in the traffic. But I feel like a stick that you drive the car. With an automatic, the car takes you. I like being able to have a car to physically lead. When there is too much traffic, I just used the bike.

You said you wanted to be an actor because ofButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. What made you call on this movie?

When I watched this movie, I saw two actors spend a good time. I thought, "I want to do that, have fun playing characters." They were the ultimate anti-heroes and there was a great friendship in the movie. Working for 20 years, I played to play so many fun characters, train as many great friendships. I sometimes pleasizing that I died a lot in movies, so I had to live a lot of life in a life.

You have studied acting onAtlantic Theater Actor Society with Teachers, including William H. Macyand Felicite Huffman. Were they stars then?

Macy had done things, so there was a Wow factor when he walked to the door. Félicité Huffman had made a lot of theater, so at that time, she was very respected as an actor. When she spoke, people sat down and listened.

What was really nice, it was beyond these names or what they were known about the way they talked about the passion of their art. It translated me. As a student, you sat down there and I hope you would get one day.Acting is a call for life. You do not master it in five years, a decade or for 20 years. Success is the longevity of a career and what this career looks like during the period of decades. I hope to have more decades from.

Do people always recognize that Mike Dexter?

Some. Who is nice of kind. When people throw citations for you from a movie that came out 20 years ago, it means you did a good job.When I diddusk, people were like: "How can Mike Dexter be Carlisle? It's ridiculous." Part of me took the offensive and some of me took it like a compliment because I had done such a good job of creating a character. It was my job to create a new character who would replace the image that people had from me. Let's hope they train with a new perception.
