It's deliberate that a lot of my films have been period pieces.

Cary Elwes

I've always been a history buff. It was one of the few subjects at school that really, really caught me. I think you'll find a lot of actors will be interested in history because it sparks your imagination so much. When you enter a period of history, your imagination just goes wild in creating the world, which is really what acting is.

Tom Mison

I've always been a relatively big history buff. In college, I took a lot of history courses, and when I was in grad school, I liked to audit them.

Scott Snyder

I've seen so many period pieces in my life, I really enjoy them so much, a lot of my favorite movies are period pieces.

Alexis Bledel

I find more interesting roles for women in period pieces. I do personally like watching period films; I think you can really get lost in the fantasy of them.

Keira Knightley

What I think happens today is that a lot of filmmakers look at other films that are retro pieces, like L.A. Confidential, and say, oh, that's period. We didn't want to do the stereotypical stuff.

Ted Demme

I have always been an amateur history buff, and I've been fascinated by legal history.

Dan Abrams

I'm a history buff, so I've been reading lots of books on Irish and American history.

Sheamus

You would be surprised of films that people just don't see. You know what I mean? I'm always working and I'm a film buff but I'm an old school film buff.

Mike Epps

I don't know why I get cast in a lot of period pieces. Stephen Fry told me that I had a face for period, that I look like someone from 1920.

James McAvoy

I'm black, yeah, but I'm just an actor, so everything I do doesn't have to be color-specific or specific to history. But I got to a point where a lot of people wanted to offer me period pieces, like that's the only thing I could do.

Stephan James

My mother is a very big cinema buff, so as a kid, we watched a lot of Indian and Malay films.

Michelle Yeoh

Your boyfriend is…well, way buff. Monster buff. Lord, king buff. (Sunshine)

Sherrilyn Kenyon

When you're talking horror or sci-fi, you're working in a genre that has loosely certain thematic elements, or, you could even call them rules. But rules are there to be broken. I think that young filmmakers should go all the way back to the history of horror, from silent films like "Nosferatu", and through to today's horror films, so they understand the history of horror films and what has been done. Understand that, and then add something new or original.

Roger Corman

I'd love to do some period pieces and some historic work; I just feel like no one's tapped into Latin history and Latin contributions to the making of America, and we've been there over 500 years.
