It looks like Jennifer Aniston finds nothing funny about her comedienne stereotype in Hollywood. Aniston says she is 'frustrated' with being typecast as a comedy star as she is trying to earn a new reputation as a more 'serious' actress.

According to the Hollywood Reporter on Thursday, Aniston says that she doesn't want to be known as just a comedienne as she is trying to mold her future as a dramatic actress. She told the site, "I mean, and it's been a frustrating thing, because - look, I love what I do. I love every job I've had, whether they've bombed or been successes - and thankfully, we've had more successes than we've had failures. But it's like I was saying: I feel like every actor, or at least the ones that are maybe stereotyped, maybe like myself, or put into a category of 'They're this or they're not, we'll keep it that' - you know, there's always this actor wanting to get out."

Aniston added, "We're all closeted actors like, wanting to do that other part, because we have access to that ability because that's what we do. We're actors. So you have to kind of bang your drum a little louder or go get it yourself or go make it yourself, because there is a little bit of a, 'No, we don't see you in that light, and I don't trust you.' That's why it's so fabulous, these young filmmakers actually find it exciting to go, 'Let me put this person, not the expected choice, in that.'"

What's more, Aniston says that she wants to make better films in Hollywood while looking for more hard-hitting directors and producers to work with.

She added, "I want to make great films. I just want to be working with great directors, doing great stories, not just sitting in that one little category. I understand having to earn your way. I also understand earning people's trust that you are able to do it. It's a catch-22. It's like, well, you have to let me do it to show you, but you won't let me do it because I'm in that category."
