It's not that 51-year-old Kim Carrell stopped playing villains in Shakespeare or intense characters in contemporary plays and films, but suddenly the dad roles were beginning to pile up. "Though I still looked young and was being cast in dad roles younger than myself, clearly some change in me had brought this about," he says. "I also saw my actor friends getting aged out of roles they had been playing. They were facing diminished opportunities and not dealing with it well. They were allowing it to eat away at them emotionally and growing seriously depressed. They held themselves responsible and were paralyzed by it. That spurred me on."Making intelligent transitions to accommodate the fact of aging depends on many factors—from realistic assessments and goals to just being open to other possibilities. Carrell falls into the latter camp. He knew the time had come to make a change, but he also.
