Acting with creatures that aren't there is kind like acting with an actor who refuses to come out of his trailer. You still have to go on and do the scene.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Acting is about animality. It's great to be allowed to be animal. But I feel more alive as a director. Every morning, I have to write.
Working with animals is always going to be tough because the animal doesn't know it's an actor.
There are a lot of people out there who offer roles to actors because they'll elevate their movie to a place the movie would never reach.
I'm very aware that when one is acting in the theater, you do become kind of animal about it. And you're reliant on instincts rather than tact a lot of the time.
As an actor you have to wait for someone to cast you, so you're relying on the business.
Well, I think one of the main things that you have to think about when acting in the movies is to try not to make the acting show.
I don't think actors should have to do anything but come in and act.
Actors are actors, and there should be a complete fluidity for anyone to play anything.
If you work in casting, it's sort of not cool to want to act. A lot of people think that casting directors are frustrated actors, but it wasn't true with any of the casting people I knew.
It's a risk casting anyone against type or what they're known to do. But there's one thing better than having a great actor, which is having a great actor who's never done what you're asking him to do. He's hungry to get out of the trailer every day and hungry to test himself.
