Most of the time, actors respond to the thing that's so far from who they are. We all want to play the serial killer and the ex-con.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes, as actors, we feel like we want to hold on and control where a character goes.
I think that's so strange, because they do know that we're all actors and we perform things that have not necessarily anything to do with us personally.
Actors want to act. I think a lot of times what happens is that they're expected to bring it all. Probably because I'm a writer, I'm not telling them what to do. I just provide them with as much as I can.
Actors want to be told what to do - they really do. But they also want to have an input and be recognized for that.
Theater actors like to change character roles. They don't like to always do the same thing.
Actors usually respond to minor aspects of their own character or things that even feel disparate from themselves.
I think actors are attracted to the idea of other identities and concealing themselves behind some other identity.
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.
All actors are looking for that role that's going to define who they are. When it happens, it's a good thing.
The way that actors talk about acting is generally quite punishing, and I think actors want to put forward the idea that they do all of this work because, you know, it's a post-De Niro world, when, largely, in fact, it's almost never true.
