Matching character and actor is what a good director does.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As an actor, you want a director who makes you feel comfortable in a place that you can really create and try a lot of different things.
As a director, you see something in someone; you know it's there, you just got to go get it. You do that with any actor. That's your job.
As a director/writer/producer, all you ever want is to work with actors who make you look better, who make the work you do seem as good as it can be and even better than it is.
I think what makes a good actor's director is the same thing that makes a good director. Acting is just one of the trades necessary to make a movie.
Every actor you work with has a different method, same with the director. You have to figure out what your shared language is and how to best support each other, and also take care of yourself.
An actor is only a part of the film, not the whole, and very often, he is moulded by the director. That is why a good director can make so much difference to a film.
The best thing an actor can be is flexible, because all directors are different and all actors are different.
Actors look for characters. If they read a well-written character, and if they think the director's not an idiot, they're going to sign up and do some acting.
I'm really a director's actor. I rely heavily on a director.
Part of an actor's job, in my opinion, is adjust to the characteristics of the director and try to understand to how he tries to work.
