I gradually work myself into a frenzy as the shoot approaches, while we're choosing the costumes or working with the make-up artist. I'm not so much interested in my character as the film itself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think I try to look at all my films and break them down because, at the end of the day, it's about creating characters that you like.
My effort is to slip into any role that is offered to me. The minute you go into those costumes, those grand sets, and start prepping up for the role, you become the part or at least start feeling the part.
A film is a great deal about what you see, and the silhouette of a character tells you a lot. I'd love to go into film costume.
I look for the role that excites me and work with whoever that director happens to be, wherever he wants to shoot the film.
As an actor, my background is in the theater and I feel that my strong suit is period work, but I actually didn't do much of it at all, until the last three or four years. I'm loving it!
I'm looking forward to, as an actor, having to do some stuff that's out of my comfort zone. It makes for interesting work and when you're uncomfortable doing something; then it's going to be interesting when they film it.
I'm not a macho guy. I'm very soft-spoken on the set. But I'm not really intimidated by the process of making movies.
I'm very much into the costuming of any character that I portray and it's one of the great things about making movies is it's a collaborative art form so you get all these artists who are looking specifically about for this instance your character's costume and what that might tell about your character.
I haven't done many films. But with every movie, I try to showcase a different side of me through a character.
When you shoot a film, you have very little time to waste, and I try to go into the character as soon as possible and stay there as much as I can.
