Chaz Bono says he’s finally “starting to break through” in the acting business but refuses to accept any transgender roles to avoid being “pigeonholed.”
The 47-year-old only child of Sonny and Cher discussed his role in the feature-length indie thriller Dirty, where he plays a cisgender “hoarder/former crack addict with bad teeth.”
“It’s just a decision that I made at least at this point, until I get established,” Bono told People.
“I’m a character actor and I really like to do stuff that’s kind of out there and edgy and I don’t want to be seen as anything when I’m acting. I want to be able to morph into whatever. I don’t want to get pigeonholed.”
Bono first opened up about wanting to be an actor in 2013, around the same time he focused on losing weight and leading a healthier lifestyle.
Now, after a stint on Dancing With the Stars and several smaller projects, including an appearance on The Bold and the Beautiful, Bono says he’s happy to be working on his passion.
“This has been a good year for me,” he said. “I’m finally starting to get paid to act. So it’s been a great year.”
Dirty the movie has been released digitally. You can watch it online here.
