The Recipe For Any Character Is Always

What I Like Is Having A Conversation That Gets You On The Right Page. And, If That Means Having Conversations In Lieu Of Rehearsal - I Don't Wanna Get Up And Cook The Thing Before We Shoot It But I Do Wanna Know That Me And The Director Know Exactly What We Both Want To Achieve, And That We're Moving In The Same Direction.

Sometimes, The Smaller Roles In Movies Can Be The Most Interesting. If You Only Take The Stance That You'll Only Play Central Characters In Movies, You'll Find Yourself Not Being Able To Indulge In That Morally Grey Terrain That Makes Support Characters So Rich And Interesting.

At Some Point, You Have To Disconnect, If The Obsession With Playing A Real Person Gets In The Way Of The Movie At Large. At The Same Time, We're All Interested, As Actors In Trying To Get As Close To The Real Thing As We Can, And Whatever You Can Do In Order To Create That Transformation Feels Fun And, For Me, The Furthest I Can Get Away From Myself Is Fun. It's All Part Of The Costume, The Accent, And All That Stuff. It's About Trying To Get Close Without It Being A Detriment To The Point Of View Of The Story That You're Trying To Tell.

Every Job Leaves Its Residue, A Bit Of Extra Knowledge, A New Skill-set.

North America Makes A Ton Of Movies And There's A Ton Of Movies That Are Exceptional.
