I guess you can say that every actor is a 'character actor' on some level. But I think some actors have a wider range. I think that's how you get that mantle.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I guess every character has a little bit of the actor - I guess for every character you play, the actor has to allow a little bit of their own character to show through.
As actors, sometimes we want our character to go somewhere different than it goes, but that's being an actor.
I think all actors are supposed to be character actors.
Sometimes you need to put your own characteristics into the actor, and you take different things from the character that you admire - sometimes you can't see the boundaries anymore.
I think any actor hopes to have variety and range in what they do. Everybody has a certain range, so you take on roles to expand that the best you can... See things a little differently and whatnot.
In my experience, it's usually up to the actor how a character is portrayed.
It's like playing tennis, you play a different rally with different people. Every actor is different and the chemistry between actors is different.
Film actors reach a certain level, but they don't get beyond it unless they work in the theater.
I have been fortunate to experience a wide range of characters. What more can an actor ask for?
The job of an actor is the same in all of them, really. I mean, you're just creating a character that you hope people will believe, so it doesn't make that much of a difference really.
