You can see some very great theatre actors who don't work at all well on screen. They're trying too hard at it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is hard sometimes to see how other actors are working when you are working with them.
There's nothing like working with the best actors possible, and if you have a piece of material like, 'Long Way Down' or 'Love Punch,' which allows you to play, then it's just a joy to go to work.
The truth is, good actors are always looking to do something different. They are dying to play slightly odder characters or work on movies that aren't straight down the middle.
Film actors reach a certain level, but they don't get beyond it unless they work in the theater.
You have to have wonderful actors for material, particularly difficult material that requires complicated performances.
As an actor, particularly in theatre, you're trying to get jobs on TV; but you're also losing jobs in theatre to people who are on television.
Actors are people who are doing a job they want to do, which isn't the case for many of the people who watch what we do.
As an actor, sometimes you've gotta take the jobs that you may not want to do. It's so hard to work as an actor.
Some actors are supposed to be very difficult, but I've not found that to be the situation.
All good actors are easy to work with. It's the ones that aren't very good who tend to be very difficult.
