I always say if you've seen good acting on television, those actors are really good. Because there's just not enough time. You don't have any preparation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is hard to get good actors who also do television, ads and films. Theatre requires six weeks of rehearsal for a play.
All good actors are very bright. You can't be stupid and a good actor. You may be inarticulate, you may not be highly educated, but all good actors are quick-witted, some of them dazzlingly so. All you do is guide them.
Good acting is about being as natural and calm as possible. These days producers have such definite ideas that you have to be prepared to do whatever they ask.
Wanting to be a good actor is not good enough. You must want to be a great actor. You just have to have that.
I think to be a good actor you need either a good experience of life or education, or both.
A little secret about actors is that we never think we do a great job in auditions. We kind of just go in and do our work and leave sort of hoping for the best. It's an interesting dynamic - acting is such an interesting job. You never quite know how well you do.
My advice to young actors is to push yourself and to aspire to be great.
It is hard to be an actor on a TV show, because you don't know what's coming and you sort of find out very last minute sort of what's happening.
A lot of good actors are turning to TV.
There are lots of actors out there who are hugely, hugely talented and haven't got the breaks I've had.
