What I always studied in screenwriting from my mentor John Glavin was that the most interesting characters are characters with shades of gray.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes even when the book is over I don't know who's good and who's bad. It's really more interesting, I think, to write about gray characters than it is to write about black and white.
The characters that have greys are the more interesting characters. The hero who sometimes crosses the line and the villain who sometimes doesn't are just much more interesting.
Most authors would love to see their characters made for the screen, especially one that's quite colourful.
I like grey characters; fantasy for too long has been focused on very stereotypical heroes and villains.
In general, I am more interested in the darker characters when I watch or read stories.
In the past, I was always drawn to really quirky, idiosyncratic characters.
There are infinite shades of grey. Writing often appears so black and white.
I prefer to work with grey characters rather than black and white.
The darker the character, the more interesting.
As an actor, I'm constantly striving to find the darkness in the lighter characters and the lightness in the darker characters.
