I've been trying to make a difference as an actor. I want to play characters that move people, have them look at their lives differently, or give them an escape.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't want to get into a comfort zone. I am getting characters of varying shades, which I believe will help me grow as an actor.
As an actor, you always want to keep it different, change it up, and, you know, just to keep yourself inspired and work with interesting characters.
I go through a whole process with the actors first, building and creating characters, then I encourage them to sort of live in that character when they're in the screen.
I'm just looking always for characters that change, because I want to get better, as an actor and as a person.
I am good when there is something central about the character. There is always a human theme I attach myself to. I am really looking for something that is moving or enlightening or something with depth as an actor. I look for these kinds of roles.
I'm an actor in that I just want to create roles and characters and play parts that people remember and like or dislike or hate.
By being an actor, one can explore various personalities of a human being, be that person, behave and live that person's life, and then you are back to your normal life.
That's what acting is about - for me, at least - tackling different personas and characters.
I see myself as a character actor, and I've always been drawn to playing characters that are different from myself because acting is escapism for me. I've never been that comfortable playing people that are like me.
I need to make the characters that I play in movies more accessible to audiences, more real. As an actor, you're always passive; you're not making that many choices, so when something allows you to open up a bit, you want to explore your newfound freedom.
