I don't watch television and I rarely go to the cinema, but I recently watched 'The King's Speech' on a flight. It was so beautiful and so simple.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I thought 'The King's Speech' was great.
One of my favorite things to do is not to speak on screen. In theater it's different because there's a lot of emphasis on language - it's a different medium. But that is one of the most wonderful things about film. A person's face can say so much more than their voice can.
I think I would say 'The King's Speech' is surprisingly funny, in fact the audiences in London, Toronto, LA, New York commented there's more laughter in this film than in most comedies, while it is also a moving tear-jerker with an uplifting ending.
I didn't watch much TV as a kid and I don' t watch it now. I don' t find anything beautiful or unique to the medium, and the only thing you can do on TV that you can't do in film is make a continuing story - which is so cool!
All TV can do is capture the spirit of a book because the medium is so utterly different. But I'm very grateful for the readers that Masterpiece Theatre has undoubtedly brought me.
I tend to go to the theater a lot. I've always loved it.
I kind of got lost down a road of TV and film, so it's great to come back to theatre.
I used to say that theatre was my favourite thing. But the more I do film, the more I appreciate it.
I loved doing the 'King of Queens', I have never had so much fun doing a show. People got to see a different side of me.
For me, as an actor, going from TV to film was interesting because TV and film are two very different things.
