I acted for so many years and sat on a million sets and worked with a million different directors so that is to me some of the best training you can get.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I studied directing prior to acting and I've done music videos and documentaries and things that were sort of well-received.
I never had any classes or went to theatre school like a lot of actors, so all of my training has been on stage with different directors. That was a pretty good school room.
I never wanted to lose out on an acting job and wonder if I hadn't been trained enough.
Stunt coordinating is a good training ground for directing because you have exposure to all the departments in film.
I love being on sets with very seasoned directors as well as very new directors. Every time is a discovery process. You learn something new every time.
I want to work with great directors. I want to work on good material with good actors. I've probably done 20 movies at this point and a lot of independents. It's been an incredible ride and I love it and I'm just going to keep going and doing what I'm doing.
I learn a lot as a director from acting in other people's films and just in general.
I've learned so many things from directors in my acting career. There are even some things I've learned that I didn't want to do. There are those directors who've really made me shine and others who've made me opaque.
I have had a lot of training as an actor, but it's very different than being on set.
My real training as an actor was when I started doing theatre.
