As a writer, I always think about who my prototype actors are, in my brain. It's helpful, as a writer, to think about that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You have to get it in your brain that you don't belong to yourself as an actor, but that you belong to the director who creates the character.
What's really interesting about actors, is that we all have opinions on how people's careers look, but I think you never have any idea of your own, or what other people think of you.
I think like an actor when I'm acting, and I think like a director when I'm directing.
When I'm writing, I'm writing for a particular actor. When a lot of writers are writing, they're writing an idea. So they're not really writing in a specific voice.
Some actors, I think, want to feel that they are as creative as the writer. And the answer is, frankly, they're not.
I think people are starting to think of me less as an actor and more as a writer.
As an actor, you're in the hands of producers and directors. It's important to find out who you're working with.
I try not to think of actors as I'm writing because I think you do them a disservice by writing for things they've already done.
I'll write a character with a certain actor in mind, but then once I start casting, I have to forget about who I pictured.
No I don't really write thinking about specific actors because it can get in the way a little bit.
