Well, all I can say is thank goodness I had 15 years of theater before ever I did film roles. You build technique that you can rely on.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Theater has given me a different perspective on the way I approach films.
Theatre is really difficult, so it's important that you have a director that kind of understands that and is really hands on.
The bad things about theatre get balanced by the good things in film and vice versa. So to tell you the truth, I love it when I can go back and forth - it feeds different parts of you and exercises different muscles.
I sort of grew up doing theater. And that's how I got into film, actually.
Film is fragmented and gets into lots of other people's hands. There are a lot of pleasures that theatre gives me. You get to perform uninterrupted.
Theatre's a whole different beast to film. It requires a lot more of you.
It's easier to go from theatre to film than the other way round. In film you're absolutely loved and cossetted and cared for. In film your director makes your performance. In theatre you're carrying it all.
I've had plenty of lessons about film acting and theatre acting.
I think theatre helped, only because it was acting experience. I got to work with a lot of directors.
I think in any form of acting, you're always well served if you've done theater.
