I'd always envied actors who got to play real people or got to do research. I've always just had these scripts where, I mean not in a bad way, but it was right on the page.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It used to be that you could do these nuggets of a movie and it would attach itself in terms of credibility to your work and the style of work that you did, that people would be interested and curious about you and your work as an actor.
I'm not one of these actors who can make a bad script good. Some actors, a script can be terrible, and they can bring something to it and make it really special. I can't.
As an actor, you want to do the best job possible, and you want the best scripts possible because it makes life more interesting.
As an actor, you work to the script: that's our main priority. But you have to be aware and look around for things that help you bring that little bit extra, that touch of realism that rams the point home.
What really makes it fun for an actor is when the script is good.
For me, my first hearing of the script matters. It has to excite me as an actor and as an audience.
I think I have been stereotyped as an action director in Hollywood, so all I got were the action scripts.
Usually when you get a script from actors, you don't have high expectations.
Even as an actor, I think like a storyteller. My parents raised us to look at the script.
When an actor asks you to read his script, your heart sinks. The number of scripts I've been given by actors that are so unbelievably terrible!
