I think film and television are really a director's medium, whereas theatre is the actor's medium.

Making a film or doing a play are completely different experiences and entirely fulfilling, but completely unique. I also think one complements the other. People often say that theater is about flexing your muscles, and is actually real acting, whereas I sort of disagree.

Theater has given me a different perspective on the way I approach films.

Compared to film or television, theater is more interactive, collaborative.

Theater to me is acting but it's more real on film.

There are a lot of similarities with film and TV, but also a lot of differences, especially in the way they film stuff.

Being a film actor is very different from a theatre actor.

Theater is a lot more interactive, more of a cohesive unit. With television, it can be a different director every episode.

It's great to work in film and TV, and I love it, but there's nothing that can replace that instantaneous storytelling you get in theater.

I never studied anything about film technique in school. Eventually, I realized that cinema and theater are not so different: from the gut to the heart to the head of a character is the same journey for both.
