Good actors, especially when they know their character, will come in and either tell you in advance that they have an idea, or in the middle of the rehearsal or the scene they'll let it loose and you go, 'Ah that's great.'
I'm an actor. I'll take a lead if it's offered. The really good actors can fill a character, no matter what the role is. A good leading man is a character actor; a good character actor can be a leading man.
It's funny: I put money into short films, and I put really good actors in it, and I write some stuff that's really funny, and I'll get, like, a million views. But to the right of me, there will be a video of a kitten that falls into a toilet bowl, and it's three seconds long, and it will get 25 million views.
Good actors I've worked with all started out making faces in a mirror, and you keep making faces all your life.
I think good actors are born with a kind of native gift. When you study too much with an acting teacher, that gets taken away. You lose your sense of spontaneity.
As long as there's really good actors that use their clout to support fringe films, whatever genre it is, they'll still get made.
In TV, sometimes you get lost in the fog of the scene, and when you're working with such good actors, they can bring you into the scene.
I love to watch good actors who surprise and amuse me.
Actors are born, good actors are trained. Dancers are born, good dancers are trained.
Most good actors have a huge intelligence about the human condition and a real open heart to different kinds of people and behavior.
