The only character I ever remember actually creating in a flash of inspiration was George Liquor. God planted that in my head in an instant.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Inspiration strikes at very funny times.
All of the actors that have served to me as inspiration over the years have been those more associated with dramatic work who have, in turn, been able to embody their characters and lose themselves in those characters that they create.
I would say of characters I've created, the one I've felt the most connected to emotionally was Adam Austin from 'The Prophet.' I think it was the connection to the idea that one decision you make innocently enough can have very serious, drastic consequences for someone else's life.
He invented this idea of telling the life story of a great writer through becoming his characters and becoming him. It was such a pleasure and I thought we must find another writer.
George Liquor is really the richest character I have. I'm amazed there aren't 365 episodes about him on TV already.
I was always inventing characters and making up stories.
All characters come from people I know, but after the initial inspiration, I tend to modify the characters so they fit with the story.
I really believe that every character comes from the well of the artist.
I think every character I've ever come up with has been based on someone or something I've known.
I always get inspiration from whatever characters say about my character.
