Guys are natural problem solvers - they like to have strategies.
From Chadwick Boseman
In TV, you're basically shooting an episode in 10 to 14 days; 14 days is a luxury situation. And in film, you have anywhere from a month to three months, or it can be even longer than that, depending on what the production is.
Sometimes when you're acting, you only need a little bit of something to sort of channel or, you know, transport into a place.
Every year, Hollywood is looking for that new, white leading man and new white starlet that audiences fall in love with. But they're not looking for the next Denzel Washington, Will Smith or Sidney Poitier.
I think there's a difference between a working actor, a movie star and a celebrity. They're all three different things.
In television you don't have a lot of time to spend with the role or the script. Typically you get a script a week prior to shooting. Sometimes it's even less time, not enough time to dream about the role.
I started out as a writer and a director. I started acting because I wanted to know how to relate to the actors. When people ask me what I do, I don't really say that I'm an actor, because actors often wait for someone to give them roles.
As an African-American actor, a lot of our stories haven't been told.
As a director, it is important to understand the actor's process.
When I met Rachel Robinson for the first time, she is a regal woman, and she was like a grandmother in that first meeting.
