I Think What Traditional Studios Probably Don't

When I Was In Theater I Was Forever Trying To Inhabit A Space Which Puts Yourself Under The Microscope As An Actor And Your Personality And Your Take On Life, But Actually Through Another Portal Of A Character.

There's This Whole Grey Area Seemingly Every Time It's Talked About Animators And Who Takes Ultimate Responsibility For The Characters [of The Planet Of The Apes] But Without Question And I'll Go Down Saying This Year After Year, These Characters Are Authored By What We Do On Set. They Are Not Authored By Animators.

For Film And Games, There Is Now A Fantastic Method Of Actors Portraying Characters Which Don't Necessarily Look Like Themselves. And Yet You've Still Got The Heart And Soul Of The Performance.

Rather Than Something Like King Kong Where I Really Went After Studying Gorillas In The Wild And Captivity. I Based Caesar [ From The Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes] On A Real Chimpanzee And I Worked With Terry [notary] On A Lot Of Chimpanzee Movement.

I Don't See A Difference Between Playing A Performance Capture Role And A Live Action Role, They're Just Characters To Me At The End Of The Day And I'm An Actor Who Wants To Explore Those Characters In Fantastically Written Scripts. The Only Caveat Is A Good Story Is A Good Character.
