Christian Bale (Getty Images) Christian Bale has played some intensely demanding characters (the secret identity of Batman, a serial killer in American Psycho) but he says taking on these kinds of roles is what keeps him sane.If he weren't an actor, he told Us at the SAG awards, he'd "probably go nuts! I got into the business early, too early," he said. "I knew I had an addiction to it and there was that element of getting to walk in other people's shoes. I find it fascinating."
Bale, who won Best Supporting Actor at the awards show, said he might have become a detective if his chosen career hadn't worked out. "That's what I enjoy-- studying people endlessly without having to apologize."
This skill sounds like something he must exercise to approach challenging roles like the drug-addict former boxer he played in The Fighter.
