 There are many reasons why people might become character actors.   Like myself - I know I am not destined for or want leading rolls, but for more small character roles.   While most films have a handful of leading roles it may also require dozens of smaller supporting roles, and there are arguably more opportunities for professional success as a character actor than as the star.  Although some actors become character actors by choice, I find Character or bit parts exciting and I get a great buzz from it . . . "what will I be in next" ?
