You try to work with the director and your fellow actors to get somewhere, but other people are the judge of whether you hit that note right.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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 an actor, you're in the hands of producers and directors. It's important to find out who you're working with.
If you do well as an actor, a good director will pick up on it, and keep it in the film.
Sometimes the odds are against you-the director doesn't know what the hell he's doing, or something falls apart in the production, or you're working with an actor who's just unbearable.
I'm a good actor in that sense for directors because I always do what they say.
Whatever it takes, the job of the director is to be the leader and to get your actors where they need to go. That's a philosophy that I have.
As an actor, you're always nervous as to what a director will do with something.
I'm an actor's director.
You can be playing a line some way and the director wants you to change that, or you can disagree. But I always think that the creative conversation between director and actor is what leads to good work.
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.
