But in action, one defies one's character.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In order to make characters real - no matter what the character is doing - you have to see yourself as capable of having done that.
A character is as much about what you do as what you say.
Acting is not just impersonating your character.
Action is only really compelling when it reveals character - character revealed through action, and not action for its own sake.
You have to play the logic of a character.
One of the ways that you reveal character is by getting a character into a situation and seeing what they do.
You and the character just become the same person in a way. There isn't really a character; it's just you creating this illusion.
Plot and character are virtually the same thing.
I think action should be revealed through character, so if you have a plot problem, it's probably a character problem.
Action is character.
