When I was thinking of casting this, I thought, What roles would Sellers be playing now?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Cast is everything.
Casting is everything. Getting the person that you imagined is this character and then seeing what they bring to it.
Roles make the actor.
Casting is storytelling.
I think one of the biggest jobs of being a director is getting the casting right.
I always think that a director who knows about the technical side, but cares about the acting performances and casting as well, is ahead of the game.
As an actor you have to wait for someone to cast you, so you're relying on the business.
I would love to play the villain, but again, it sort of what happens in this industry.
To me, casting is all about finding a character within the actor off the screen as much as on the screen.
Actors are sellers, and I figured out a long time ago that if you wanted to work a lot, you had to be on the buying side.
