There are a lot of characters that you can get into that don't exist in the studio world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You have to play your characters, not like them.
If you're lucky, and not a lot of actors are these days, you get the chance to create a character.
The movies that are really big, at least in my experience, oftentimes don't have characters that I feel as personally connected to.
You have to find out how to become the character.
There's no room for being a visionary in the studio system. It literally cannot exist.
As long as you have the acting chops and the desire to get inside a character, you can play anything.
A lot of times in movies, especially in sequels, the characters become caricatures and just sort of improv machines and joke machines, rather than people you can actually connect to.
When you're not in studios, you don't have any luxuries; you can't control the elements, so you have to put up with those extremes.
Characters don't belong to anyone, not even the person who plays them.
The studio is meant to be always a place where, first of all, they can be out of spotlight, and second, where they could work with a peer group on parts that they might not have played otherwise.
