As an actor, I like to get a bit of momentum going with a character and kind of work a bit quicker. I mean, not crazy-fast, but, you know, five or six pages a day is a nice pace.

I think if you're a competent actor with a good imagination, and if it's on the page, it makes your job a lot easier.
As an actor, my main focus is finding good writing and attacking a good role.
But I'm very happy to work within tight parameters, and when you know you have an actor for two days, and you have to get that work done in two days, that focuses the mind wonderfully.
I love working fast. I don't relish the director who wants to do 25 to 30 takes, or the actors who insist on doing 25 or 30 takes.
As an actor, I like as much time with the material as possible and given the opportunity, time spent with the other actors in the scene. But that is a rare luxury in working in any TV series.
I'm not jumping into anything fast. I'm an actor that likes to choose my work and there's an element of good taste to my work.
I'm not the best actor I can be, so I'm just working on it. I'm not the quickest reader in the world but when I get an acting book I can read it in two days.
The caliber of actors I'm getting to work with and learn from on a daily basis is phenomenal for me as a developing actor.
I don't like waiting around for work, and sometimes as an actor you're forced into that position, so that's sort of how I got into writing, producing and directing.
As an actor, you know there are things you get asked to do that you do quite well, with less effort.
