Oscar winner Adrien Brody is sick of only landing quirky parts - and wishes movie bosses would consider him for more "mainstream" roles.The star picked up a Best Actor Academy Award for his performance in Roman Polanski's 2002 drama The Pianist and has since starred in a variety of offbeat films including The Village and Hollywoodland.

What I still crave more of is great roles

But Brody wants to expand his movie career with more high profile parts such as his turn in 2005's King Kong. He tells Parade.com, "What I still crave more of is great roles. I wish the studios would see me in more mainstream movies but there are a handful of actors that routinely get that chance because they are supposedly safe bets. In that sense, Hollywood is a business. It's not really about the work".
