Actors have a magic gene within them - I think they're the finest descendants of rogues and vagabonds - and it's all too easily forgotten what the acting legacy is.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Actors are rogues and vagabonds. Or they ought to be.
I think all those actors from that generation, like Bogart - they were wonderful actors. They didn't act. They just came on and they did it, and the characters were wonderful.
The actors I admire are character actors.
The best actors, I think, have a childlike quality. They have a sort of an ability to lose themselves. There's still some silliness.
I admire a lot of actors; I think a lot of them have so much talent.
All actors are looking for that role that's going to define who they are. When it happens, it's a good thing.
Character actors are becoming a thing of the past. They're just going by the wayside. They're just cutting through that caliber of acting.
Casting young people is always so difficult, and they got it so right in 'Game of Thrones.' All the young actors are amazingly talented and so professional.
I think it's great to see how they've grown up, not just as actors but as people. They're still very much the same kids that I met many years ago. They've grown up and they are funny and wicked and naughty and bright, and I think as actors their work is just getting better and better. They've blossomed.
At any period of an actor's life, it's fairly likely that they'll be cast in ways that are reminiscent. That's the way it goes.
