You can say to actors that you've got to be the character and really get into it, but you have to make it realistic by bringing an element of yourself into it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Being an actor in movies is a lot about the power of your imagination and making the circumstance real to you so the audience will feel that it's real.
I think that's how any actor would make their performance convincing: by bringing an element of themselves into the character.
In acting, you have to pull from real-life situations, from people, to help develop a character.
As an actor, you try to bring as much of yourself to a part to try and create a feeling of authenticity and emotional truth and resonance.
I don't really consider myself to be an actor of any particular style. My aim with every role I undertake is to be truthful and honest in that particular portrayal. I don't have a particular methodology from any one school of thought or training.
If you got a good imagination, a lot of confidence and you kind of know what you are saying, then you might be able to do it. I know a lot of colorful characters at home that would make great actors.
I believe in what movies say, and I'm not an actor because I want things to be about me. I have no interest - if there was any way for my face to not be in a movie and still be an actor, I would do it.
The beautiful thing about acting is that you can just dive into the character, strip yourself of everything, and just get in there and perfect your craft.
You have to get it in your brain that you don't belong to yourself as an actor, but that you belong to the director who creates the character.
As an actor, you can do what you want with your role. That's why they hire you; to take the role and make it real.
