Not that it entirely matters: There is a perception that all actors make their movies. A lot of people assume you're responsible. George Clooney told me actors get all of the blame and all the credit.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am aware that as an actor, I can blame others for the failure of a film, the director, the script, choice of co-stars, timing of the release and so on. But now, as the director, I will have to shoulder all the blame.
The percentage of actors employed is pretty small, and if you're lucky enough to have a good run at it, you do have a sense of responsibility.
One of the best things about directing movies, as opposed to merely writing them, is that there's no confusion about who's to blame: you are.
From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.
I only work with actors who take full responsibility for their characters.
If there's anything about someone's life that's important enough to make a movie about it, I have to take responsibility to get all of it right. It's a huge responsibility.
Actors are responsible to the people we play.
I think most actors feel an obligation to do right by the people they're playing.
A film actor is just a victim of directors and editors.
Movies are a director's medium, and they end up getting less credit than actors. They get the flak if the movie doesn't do well, and the actor walks away with most of the credit if the film does well.
