On a film set everyone is very cool. Well, blase really.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm blessed to have cool roles in these big movies.
'Be Cool' was a defining movie for me.
A film set is really delicate and people treat you very very well if you're an actor because they want you to be as comfortable as possible for you to do your work, but it really is just one in a team of many and usually 150 people.
It is always interesting being on films sets - I have done it before with other actor friends - and I just find it fascinating. I just love that collaborative film family that develops around a project.
We all know that people who've never been on a film set think it's way more glamorous than the people who work on them.
As an actor, to do all sorts of different films is great.
It's great to be in a film that's able to have people really want to become socially conscious, to walk out of the theatre and want to do something.
On a film, you do your own work, you come together and meet on set, and then you shoot. It's great.
My low-budget films, more than anything, taught me that you've got to create cool, likable characters and great stories because, if you don't, it doesn't matter how cool it might look - no one is going to care about it.
There is so much to do on a film set. It is an extraordinarily invigorating and wonderful place to be, when things are running well.
