There weren't a lot of action roles growing up - there were a few, maybe, like Wonder Woman, but then it wasn't real action.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A lot of action movies today seem to have scenes that just lead up to the action.
I think what makes a good action film is a story that gets you involved. Just action, by itself, is not going to work.
I was reading through endless junk scripts that were being sent my way. Typically the roles were to play his wife or his girlfriend - leading roles for women were few and far between.
I always thought acting was all lights, camera, action. It's a job; you have to do your job correctly.
I never really planned on making action films. It just kind of happened.
I don't think action alone is enough to sustain a film franchise. There are tons of action movies out there that come and go and people don't care about.
I come from a huge theater background. The whole action and stunt world just came as the roles were available.
With action films, it's great if it's not just driven by action, but by a good story and interesting characters, as well. Though, there's nothin' like kicking butt!
I've always wanted to do action and action movies. I grew up on that.
The action movies changed radically when it became possible to Velcro your muscles on. It was the beginning of a new era. The visual took over. The special effects became more important than the single person. That was the beginning of the end.
