I use cinematic things in a theatrical way on stage, and in film I use theatrical techniques in a cinematic way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In film, you're always using your tools, your body, your voice, your emotions, but onstage, you use them in a different way.
Theater has given me a different perspective on the way I approach films.
I never studied anything about film technique in school. Eventually, I realized that cinema and theater are not so different: from the gut to the heart to the head of a character is the same journey for both.
Well, all I can say is thank goodness I had 15 years of theater before ever I did film roles. You build technique that you can rely on.
When I'm making a film, I'm the audience.
I try to work on a film that my audiences would appreciate and enjoy their time in a theatre.
I prefer film to the stage. I always like the rehearsal better than I like performing.
I'm an actor. Whether I'm on stage, in front of a camera or a microphone, what I do is the same - although with videogames it requires a lot of imagination.
I've done many different movies in many different contexts.
I don't use any techniques; I'm not trained to be an actor. I just enjoy working in films.
