Actors will never be replaced. The thought that somehow a computer version of a character is going to be something people prefer to look at is a ludicrous idea.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think there will always be a particular generation of actors who... think that they're going to be replaced by robots. But certainly the emerging actors... understand that that's part of the craft.
As far as I'm concerned... there's a side to an actor that wants to go on and play a thousand different roles.
Studios have been trying to get rid of the actor for a long time and now they can do it. They got animation. NO more actor, although for now they still have to borrow a voice or two. Anyway, I find it abhorrent.
People forget actors can adapt and change their appearance. In this industry, people sometimes cast to type, or as close to type as possible, but actors are a lot more versatile than you think!
Actors pull from their own experiences to bring reality to the characters. I wouldn't want to play someone who's a lot like me. There would be no turning it on or off.
I think any actor would agree that you can't replace theater. It's immediate. You have the energy of the crowd and every single night it's different.
As actors, sometimes we want our character to go somewhere different than it goes, but that's being an actor.
Today's films are so technological that an actor becomes starved for roles that deal with human relationships.
Actors are actors, and there should be a complete fluidity for anyone to play anything.
Character actors are becoming a thing of the past. They're just going by the wayside. They're just cutting through that caliber of acting.
