Creating a character is about what they look like. The look speaks volume to the audience.

I made the character as much of myself as I could.

In my experience, it's usually up to the actor how a character is portrayed.

I watched so many comic book movies where the actors weren't as built as the characters in the book. It made me mad because they didn't look right.

I really believe that every character comes from the well of the artist.

I've always remembered something Sanford Meisner, my acting teacher, told us. When you create a character, it's like making a chair, except instead of making someting out of wood, you make it out of yourself. That's the actor's craft - using yourself to create a character.

Suffice it to say, every actor works differently. Laurence Olivier would put on his costume and when the wardrobe was right, he was in character. That sounds superficial, but it's true, and look at the results.

As an actor, it's amazing to get to create different characters.

For film and games, there is now a fantastic method of actors portraying characters which don't necessarily look like themselves. And yet you've still got the heart and soul of the performance.
