I'm not one of these actors who can make a bad script good. Some actors, a script can be terrible, and they can bring something to it and make it really special. I can't.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's possible for me to make a bad movie out of a good script, but I can't make a good movie from a bad script.
When an actor asks you to read his script, your heart sinks. The number of scripts I've been given by actors that are so unbelievably terrible!
You can have a great character in a really bad script, and the film will never be seen. It's just too much work to commit to a film and not have it released.
A horrible script 99 percent of the time means a horrible movie. But if you start with a good script, odds are you're going to have a good movie.
What really makes it fun for an actor is when the script is good.
There are plenty of bad actors and there are plenty of bad directors. There are actors who will always be bad and there are good actors who you cry for because they're being badly directed or the material isn't good enough.
Usually when you get a script from actors, you don't have high expectations.
In all of us, there is a struggle between the good and the bad. It makes it more palpable and real to play such people as an actor.
Actors are the best and the worst of people. They're like kids. When they're good, they're very very good. When they're bad they're very very naughty.
Let me tell you a little secret: There are no bad actors. There are none. You have to find the right role. I never give up on people. For God's sake, look at me.
