Playing a real-life character is a challenge and a huge responsibility.
I love playing real people. It's a huge challenge and responsibility which I take on board and which I relish. It also scares me to death. Give me a totally fictional character and I don't have the same sort of responsibility. If, though, I play Sigmund Freud or Robert Maxwell or whoever then there is a responsibility.
For me, there's always a huge attraction in playing real people. But with it comes an incredible sense of responsibility because you're playing a real person in a real event.
Playing a real-life character is definitely a lot more responsibility than one that is fictionalized.
It's a great responsibility playing a real-life character because the person has reached a certain position after undergoing a lot of things.
You feel a huge sense of responsibility when you're playing a real person.
When I was playing for Real Zaragoza, I had the responsibility that I was playing for the club that I support and that I love. When I was playing for Athletic Bilbao, I was feeling the responsibility to play for the most special philosophy in the world, which is only playing Basque people.
It's a huge challenge, a huge responsibility. Bond is a huge iconic figure in movie history. These opportunities don't come along very often so I thought, 'Why not?'
I think, for every actor, the most challenging part of playing a character, specially a real-life character, is to convince yourself that you are the character.
Playing is no challenge; every time that you get a role you get to go play with other people in the sandbox and so there is no challenge, real challenge. The challenge, the major challenge is getting the work, finding the sandbox.
When you play a real person, you feel a sense of responsibility that obviously you don't feel when you're playing a fictional character.
Even though the 'Shooter' character on TV is so close to the real-life me, I'm still playing with ways to creatively portray that character.
Playing a real-life character, as an actor, gives me real high because there is so much of research material available in front of you.
As an actor, I need to convince the audience that the character that I'm playing is real, and the situation that this character is in is also real.
It's more difficult playing a real-life person than a fictional character - you can go easy on yourself with a fictional character.
But there is a corollary to freedom and that's personal responsibility, and the real challenge is how you generate that personal responsibility without imposing it.
Playing a real-life character is very intriguing.
