Usually, I end up looking for something completely different to who I last played. But there is just a spark that's lit when I read a script or character I want to play.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The first thing that attracts me to any script is the writing. If I find myself becoming lost in a good yarn, then I feel certain that others will, too.
I love the feeling I get when I'm on a set; I love reading the scripts, playing the characters, getting to be someone else.
I love to be a working actor, and I love to read scripts as they come in. If I find the script or character that is interesting, I want to transform myself into that character.
I like challenging parts, something I haven't done yet, something that scares me. There's just a feeling I get when I read a script that I love, I feel an attachment to it, a yearning to play that character.
I don't really ever think in terms of what type of person I'd love to play. I usually just read stuff and can tell. It's always fun to get to do things that stretch you and that you don't get to do a lot, but you never know until you see it.
I will always look for things that are different from the last thing I played.
I like my characters to be ones I think about long after I've finished reading the script.
I feel like there are things I can relate to in every character. But I feel like when you read a script, you don't get to see the definition behind someone, you just get to read what the person goes through and find a place to come from to make it real.
I'd like to play every type of character, but only once. I like to expierence things.
I always tend to see, right after reading the script, the character and how I want to play it. I guess that's sort of most of the work, preparing for the role, but almost the creation of the character seems to go on as I read through the script.
