There's so many good comic actors that you just take the best of and try and run with it yourself. Try and bring a little bit of yourself to it, too.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Any comic is a very good actor. Look at Don Rickles. He is saying the same joke every night for 20 years and making it look like he just thought of it.
I'm a quite serious actor who doesn't mind being ridiculously comic.
I would like to do more dramas when I find a good role that will allow me to politely upset people's expectations of me as a comic actor.
I'm an actor, and I don't look at myself as providing comic relief. I have done diverse and dark roles such as a psycho, murderer, and others in films such as 'Don', 'Eklavya' and '3 Idiots.'
I think a lot of great male comic actors are introspective, quiet personalities, which I really admire. But they are really able to turn it up when the camera's on.
A lot of comics aren't their on-screen personas; Chris Rock isn't always ranting and raving. What I do is make myself this over-the-top character that people either find endearing or they think is a joke. Then I can do anything I want.
Good comics gravitate to each other; you know who's your type of person by watching them onstage, hopefully.
The best comics enlist you to take accountability for who you are, whether you like it or not.
As a comic and as an actor, I think you've got to be partially crazy.
I think of myself as more of a comic person. I don't know about a comic actor.
