Connie Britton on Choosing Roles: 'I Want to Push Myself Outside My Comfort Zone' Connie Britton, a prominent figure in Hollywood, recently shared her perspective on selecting roles that challenge her, even after three decades in the industry. In an exclusive interview at the premiere of her new series, "Overcompensating," Britton emphasized the importance of taking risks and embracing challenges to avoid stagnation. "The things that continue, the opportunities that continue to come up for me, even 30 years into my career," she said, "I still can't quite believe that I have the opportunity to do things that challenge me, that push me outside of my comfort zone, that feel like there's a risk involved in some way." Britton's comments highlight a dedication to continuous growth and a rejection of complacency. She acknowledges the numerous "mom" roles she's played but stresses the importance of making each character unique and distinct from the last. "And that's important to me," she stated, "And as specific as I can be in those, in each character, I'm always going to learn something." Britton's words resonate with aspiring actors and offer a valuable insight into the mindset of a successful and continuously evolving performer.
