I've said before that the common perception that all good actors should be good liars is exactly the opposite; only bad actors lie when they act.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People assume actors are born liars, but I'd argue the actor's job is to tell the truth. And I've realised I'm not a good liar.
Anyone who claims to be good at lying is obviously bad at lying. Thus - as a writer myself - I cannot comment on whether or not writers are exceptionally good liars, because whatever I said would actually mean its complete opposite.
I was a terrific liar as a child, and I believe my lies. So it's a natural step into acting.
It's a challenge, writing about actors, especially a good actor, because you can't always tell when they're being honest and when they're pretending - that is, when they're acting. The really good ones don't always seem to know themselves.
Any actor that's like, 'I hate the fact that I'm getting all of this attention,' is a liar. Especially when it's from the opposite sex.
Anybody who says they are a good liar obviously is not, because any legitimately savvy liar would always insist they're honest about everything.
I'm an actor, but I am an awful liar.
There are two types of actors: those who say they don't want to be famous, and those who are liars.
Actors are good liars; writers are good liars with good memories.
Well, I think any actor can probably identify with being a professional liar. You don't always look at yourself that way, but I know a lot of days I do.
