Which reminds me of a fortune cookie: you often find your destiny on the path you take to avoid it.
When actors get pigeonholed, that's their own doing to a large degree. Because if you do something that people like, obviously they're going to ask you to do it again. It's up to you to say no. If you're that insecure about working, you'll probably do what you're known to do.
One of the most ephemeral and important things is atmosphere and tone and it's very hard to put your finger on what creates that.
