I don't feel particularly comfortable about actors using whatever power they may have to push their beliefs, unless they're extremely well informed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's important for us to certainly cast some Christian actors who can speak to our audience when we market the films, but obviously we don't discriminate. So our crew and our cast, the beliefs don't really matter.
What I would say to a person who is firm in their faith and wants to go into an acting career: It is such a difficult thing to do without compromising your beliefs.
How come actors feel like they have to give some kind of personal revelation attached to the project?
Rarely do celebrities and actors speak up for what they believe in.
People don't talk about religion a lot in Hollywood because it's not an incredibly safe place to do it.
When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and directors are scared of that.
You know those actors who have a sense for how they should be used? I don't think I have that.
An actor has power, and their power is very simple: it's the power to say no.
That's probably the biggest secret of acting: If the actor believes it themselves, they can make you believe it.
I think that most actors don't have very good opinions of themselves.
