Every time an Oscar is given out, an agent gets his wings.
The Oscar changed everything. Better salary, working with better people, better projects, more exposure, less privacy.
I think that being in an environment is a much richer experience than just working on a soundstage.
I look for a role that hopefully I feel empathy with and that I can understand and love, but also that has that challenge for me to play - a different kind of role, a different type of character, a different time period.
