The truth is, good actors are always looking to do something different. They are dying to play slightly odder characters or work on movies that aren't straight down the middle.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Theater actors like to change character roles. They don't like to always do the same thing.
All good actors are unpredictable, and a little crazy in a good way, because they feel more secure playing other people than themselves.
Most actors want the audience to like them, and that leads to bad acting.
A lot of actors are frustrated because they want to do things that are different and test themselves. Character actors are always looking for something the opposite of what they did.
Actors want to surprise themselves. When it's really good, you kind of transcend yourself, and that happens infrequently. Very, very rarely.
Any actor wants to do interesting roles, different roles. It's not all that much fun to do the same thing over and over again.
There's sort of a very symbiotic thing that happens on good TV shows with great writers, which is that they start to sort of embrace who the actors are and try to make the roles more specific to what they bring and what they can do.
I think part of the fun of being an actor is getting to work with different directors and seeing their take on it, what they're passionate about. They all have different ideas about your character.
Good acting is about being as natural and calm as possible. These days producers have such definite ideas that you have to be prepared to do whatever they ask.
