As an actor, it's hard to approach any character with negatives.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never approach a character from a negative place.
The only thing that I know how to do as an actor, as a trained actor, is you can't villainize the character you're playing. Whether it's a fictional character or a real character. Because then you operate from that sort of negative point of view, and you can't humanize him.
The negativity will always be there. I think that's for any actress or actor. But I think you've got to take it with a pinch of salt.
As an actor sometimes you can be a bit emotional and forceful, and that's not always the way to be.
Well, I've always been a character actor, you know, and you always get your share of character actors who are bad guys. So it never surprises me. And if it's good writing, you can find your way into the part well enough.
Sometimes, if you leave yourself open, an actor can bring nice nuances to a character.
Actors usually respond to minor aspects of their own character or things that even feel disparate from themselves.
It's too easy to sum up a person's character in one negative instant, and it doesn't put anything good out into the world.
First of all, the actor needs to get out of the character's way. You follow the character without judgment or prejudice or preconceived ideas.
As an actor, if you decide that someone is bad... you can't play bad, because even the worst person doesn't think what they're doing is bad.
