I think audiences, producers and directors included, develop crushes on actors (actresses in particular) and then lose interest and move on to the next one.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I suspect, for a lot of people who become actors, there's a feeling of wanting to be someone other than who they actually are.
I think there's an essential problem in movies and TV that I think a lot of people experience now: Audiences are way more interested in the actors than the characters that they're playing. It's a strange thing.
And I think that, of course, there is some dysfunction of needing to be liked or noticed or to feel part of things, something going on there for most actors. For some there's not and I think they really struggle with it.
I don't like other actors much. The industry tends to attract insecure, needy people.
In a very short period of time, actors can become kind of relevant and hot.
People often become actresses because of something they dislike about themselves: They pretend they are someone else.
People are really emotionally affected by actors. And it's hard to know how to behave in a way that doesn't impose or withdraw. Because everybody wants your attention.
Why do you think so many actors are only half-developed people? It's very easy when you're a young actor to have these intense, explosive friendships for short periods of time, because you can control what's shown of you. Then you go on to your next job and reinvent yourself again. I think it's important to find something constant.
People are really emotionally affected by actors. And it's hard to know how to behave in a way that doesn't impose or withdraw. Because everybody wants your attention. Everywhere you go, you know?
I'm always interested with other actors in what their process is, and are they still interested in acting, as opposed to being a star.
