Well, it's more of a sane life to be part of an ensemble! I find that the work can be more specific too and I have to really make sure I know where I am in the story because I'm not in every scene.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I learn so much more in an ensemble movie.
I love being part of an ensemble.
I never rehearse scenes with the whole ensemble, because I need to preserve some surprise. Instead, I work with the cast individually on their characters.
I love ensemble pieces, I love being a part of the entire tapestry of a piece, but I think character actors do have a lot more fun, and there's a versatility involved that's challenging and fun, to come up to speed and do what's required of you.
A lot of times, working in stand up, you're by yourself, and so you just have to rely on yourself only... but I like working in an ensemble.
I just want to be a part of great stories, whether I'm part of an amazing ensemble cast or I'm leading it or the antagonist or whatever.
It's such a joy to work with different ensembles and create a collaboration. Rehearsing and building a performance is very interesting for me.
The nature of an ensemble means when you're a supporting character and not the lead character, you get little tidbits here and there, but you're usually there to provide bits of comic relief and little bits of action or something.
It's a lot harder to do an ensemble because your energy is going in so many different places, and you have to cover everybody. You have to sort of split your attention.
I don't have the time to tell you all the things I've learned from this cast. It's an extraordinary ensemble because we all support each other so well.
