I learned so much by being an actor, and part of my sort-of development as a writer is big thanks to the scripts I read in my acting life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everything I learned as an actor, I have basically applied to writing.
I learned so much about being an actor by being a director. More than I ever thought I would.
So anyway, I've learned a lot about myself just in terms of acting but just work ethic and interesting things like full-page monologues or talking straight into camera, which I had never gotten to do before.
I learned how to write television scripts the same way I have learned to do almost everything else in my entire life, which is by reading.
I've had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.
I realized later how much my acting experience influenced my writing and how it helped me to write for other actors.
Acting is just something I always knew I wanted to do - acting and writing.
To be honest, I never went to school for acting, and I never learned to break down a script. I took acting classes my whole life, but they never taught me anything about acting. They just taught me about myself.
As an actor, my main focus is finding good writing and attacking a good role.
My only qualifications to be an actor were that I'm daring, and I'm a quick learner. I've always learnt by watching what other people do. It's the same with my writing. I write what I know. Structurally, I write in a very undisciplined way.
