Usually the characters I play are men of few words, who communicate in non-verbal ways.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every so often you read a play and a character just speaks to you - almost seems to speak through you, in fact.
When you write, you hear the characters speaking to you as you take dictation from what they say. And obviously, they had particular personalities when you hear them.
I write characters. Some of those characters are women.
With any character I have played, there's infinite possibilities for how they might behave, depending on who they are talking to or how they react to things.
If I wrote a play with four characters every single one of them would talk like me regardless of age or sex.
I tend to have a pattern of playing misunderstood characters.
I talk by playing, not by words.
We work with every one of them to see if their character wouldn't say a certain thing or if something is worded awkwardly - we work with them to rectify that.
I play characters, and I try to play them in a manner that's appropriate to the script. Physical movement and vitality of language is part of character.
Often you find the character through the things they say. How they talk about other people, how they describe themselves - which is very rare.
