I love saying dialogue and creating a full character more than just being physical. But I always end up doing physical stuff in my roles.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think there's something to be said for being physical in acting.
Every role is physical to a certain extent, but as a viewer, I don't respond well to actors doing more than they need to tell a story.
It's fun to get away from myself for a while when I take on these roles that have very different personalities from my own. I get to say things I normally wouldn't say or act in ways I normally wouldn't act. After all, such roles are more challenging because you really have to immerse yourself in the character.
I like to think of myself as a physical actor.
I'm pretty much of a physical actor.
I'm happy to have a physical part in 'High Tension,' in 'Hereafter,' and in a lot of French movies and Belgian movies. But its not by chance directors choose me for physical parts. I like to do that. I like to tell a story also with the body. It's important, because you can tell a lot of things.
Every part I play is just a variant of my own personality. No real character actor, of course, just me.
I've always enjoyed the physical side of acting.
I treat any scene the same - dialogue, action - you're still creating something in character. It's all acting, fighting.
I love playing roles that are physical, absolutely love. Whether it's just that kind of basic level of physicality or whether it's stunts.
