I would love to be a fly on the wall watching other directors and actors to see what their process is like.
actors film theater
I fell in love with film. I didn't start out to be a film actor. I wanted to be a theater actor.
thinking actors crucial
I think the crucial thing about being an actor is to be doing it.
play trying actors
I started off doing plays as a theater actor. But I never thought of it in terms of it leading anywhere. I was just trying to be the best actor that I could be in the context of what I was doing.
character thinking actors
I think I enjoy working obviously as a lead, but also you know I feel I'm also a character actor as well, so I enjoy approaching various projects in all sort of capacities. Any film I have been able to do I feel very fortunate to have been a part of.
actors theater ifs
I wouldnt be the same actor if I couldnt do theater.
gigs firsts actors
I started working as an actor, semi-professionally, when I was 16, and got my first professional gig at 19. I guess I've kind of worked pretty consistently since then.
