He clarified that he didn't mean humor in a scene-stealing way but rather something like "oxygen for a drowning man" if the subject matter of the project was heavy.
Nicky Katt added:
“I mean, everyone also says that the bad guys are the most fun, but I’ve definitely gone through streaks where that’s all that people wanted me to play, the bad guy, especially after ‘Dazed and Confused.’ But I’ve been really lucky because I get to play all different types of guys,”
