And The 90% They Are Not Is

What I'm Saying Not A Lot Of People Say: What Is Considered Good Acting Today Isn't Necessarily Good Acting, Because Everybody Knows What They Are Doing. Doubt Is An Important Part Of The Human Being. Trust Has To Be Attained.

A Good Director Creates A Playground For Actors, And Lets Them Go. The Trick For A Good Director Is In Casting Properly, And Creating The Playroom, And Then They'll Get Stuff That They Don't Expect, And Can't Even Direct. All The Audience Wants To Believe Is That Whatever Is Happening, It Is Happening For The First Time. They Want To See The People Within The Work Exchanging Dialogue And Action In That Moment. There Are Not A Lot Of Actors That Can Do That.

People Are In Denial All The Time, Hiding Things. If I Tell You A Racist Or Dirty Joke And You Laugh, You're Telling Me Something About Yourself, Which You Don't Want To Reveal. Accessing That Hidden Side Is What Good Acting Is All About. And There Are Only A Handful Of People In The Entire United States Who Interest Me As Actors, Who Surprise Me. Even People Who Write About It, Don't Know Anything About Good Performance. At Least When You Work At General Motors, You Know Something About Cars.

I Try To Never Repeat A Character. I Always Try To Find Something New And Fresh And Interesting That Inspires Me.

Playing A Drunk Doesn't Mean Being A Drunk, Only Bad Actors Try To Be Drunk. A Real Drunk Tries To Be Sober, He Wants Another Drink. How A Character Hides Their Feelings Tells Us Who They Are, No One Shows Their Feelings Except Bad Actors.
