If you have the skill, then you can move as you age.
From Joe Morton
One, I had never worked with John Woo before and I wanted to see what that was like, and two, Ben Affleck is a friend, so it would be fun to work with him again.
I think it talks about the fact that there are black people in the world who have tremendous amount of talents and have no channel through which they can those talents.
Yes, I would love to play one of the leads in one these movies and have all those challenges and deal with all those complications, but the business being what it is, there is a slot for me in these kinds of films, so I enjoy them, and I enjoy the people that I work with.
With my background, I came out of the theater.
I came into the industry at a time when there weren't a lot of choices to what you could do.
James Cameron has always been way ahead of the curve in terms of the use of technology in his movies.
The advice that I usually give to young actors is that if you can create a character for the stage and keep that character fresh for at least 6 months that means you're doing the show eight times a week.
Film and television is just a different technique in terms of how to approach the camera but basically the job is the same; but what you learn as a craft in theater, you can then learn to translate that into any mediums.
