Dominic West says he specialises in playing "drunks and villains."
The British actor starred as boozing Baltimore cop McNulty in cult hit The Wire and is about to appear on the West End stage in Butley, about a liquor-loving lecturer.
Asked by Shortlist about being type-cast as a drinker, the 41-year-old laughed: "You've got to take whatever comes. I used to play romantic heroes, then I got to a certain age, a certain look and probably a certain intake of alcohol and it all changed to drunks and villains.
"I seem to specialise in them," he joked.
His character in The Wire was often seen drinking whisky from the bottle as he sat on his car.
Dominic, who is about to star as serial killer Fred West in an ITV drama, admitted: "We did have a few scenes in The Wire where we were a bit p***ed, but it tended to be when there were no lines.
"In the last episode we were all hammered - we were just passing whisky around.
"There were occasions like that but it tended to be when you didn't have to do anything except lie around or sit there. Drinking and acting really don't mix."
