In western countries, there are roles written for older actors. Films are made on them, including love stories.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel even old people can do a nice love story, but here we don't make that kind of films. In the West, such films are being made and they make a nice romance, which is more like compassion.
There are some fantastic parts for older actors.
When you see period films, it tends to often be with older actors.
As an actor, you can play different age ranges and different ethnicities.
There aren't many roles that are interesting if you're a 40-year-old woman, unless you're Julia Roberts or Cate Blanchett.
Basically I am just another actor who loves his work and this thing about age only exists in the media.
I think in the acting world you either manage that transition to older roles, or you stick with what you've always done and then discover nobody can bear you doing it as an older person.
There are fewer and fewer new roles for actresses as they get older. And that's not right.
I think I read films having grown up around the pre-production and post-production aspect of the filmmaking medium, a lot more than most young people who are in acting would have experienced. I do think about scripts in a different way. I can't just read a script as an actor. I don't know how to do that.
Women over 35 have great stories, and the actresses are there, but you can't get the movies made.
