I act according to the requirements of the character, and if I try to play the role, then I play it truthfully. In my daily life, I'm a laid-back, peaceful guy. I'm just doing my job to act.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't act in the way other actresses act, in terms of building or creating a character. I don't transform myself into the role, I invest myself in the role.
To act, no matter how the character is, you have to love and have compassion for the character you're playing.
I try to allow the spirit of the character to live through me. That's the only way I know how to approach acting. I have to live it.
I always considered myself as a character actor. I always try to be versatile to show different sides of human experience.
Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me.
Usually I play the bad guy role, a terrorist or someone.
My approach to the work is the same, whether I had the lead or a supporting role. I consider myself a character actor in the true sense of the word. Unless I'm doing my autobiography, I'm playing a character.
People often ask me, was it hard to play this person or that person? Well, no, not really. Acting is what I do. It's my job.
I don't think my approach to acting is all necessarily in service of the character. I think, selfishly, I've put it in service of myself, my perspective on the world and helping my life.
When you act, you're always playing a version of yourself. You can't bring more to the role than what you are.
