“There were one or two people who asked my manager if I was doing TV now. There is nothing against TV; it’s a great medium. But I don’t think the Netflix series is like TV at all; there are differences. Being in front of the camera is a privilege; the older I get, the more I understand that," the actor said.
He further added, "You have to be great and try and be very good at everything; also respect the platform you are on. There is so much amazing stuff out there, and there are so many amazing actors doing fantastic work. I don’t think I differentiate between a big movie or a small movie anymore; it’s just an opportunity to give a shot, and that has to be 100 per cent commitment."
