In the end, I'm an actor. I'm paid for what I bring to the screen.
The job of an actor is to bring the story to the audience via screen.
I'm an actor, paid to act. I don't bring personal problems to the sets. Dad taught me that.
If you give an actor a green screen, the shot may work, but that green screen will not inspire you on the set as a director or as an actor.
I feel whatever an actor does on screen is something the actor 'does,' and what the director can do is to tell, talk or instruct. So, all the credit for an actor's performance goes to the actor alone.
I really appreciate an actor who has paid their dues and who has learned hard knocks and has been rewarded in the end.
I always knew I'd be an actor. I always knew I'd at least be on a big screen somewhere. Everyone else I was watching, they were cool, but I thought that I could bring something fresh and new, even when I was really young. I didn't really know how it was going to pan out, for sure, but I always knew that one day I would be on the big screen. I had no doubts in my mind.
There is a very particular feeling I get when I have the camera in my hand, looking at an actor talk, knowing that what I’m shooting will end up on the screen.
An actor's off-screen persona should never overshadow his on-screen characters.
I am not against any kind of physical intimacy on screen, but kissing is a big no unless it's with Jennifer. I'd like to kiss her on-screen as we do it at home, too. If we get paid for it, that's even better.
To me, casting is all about finding a character within the actor off the screen as much as on the screen.
Romance on the screen happens even with people who do not have off-screen chemistry. To bring that out from them is my job.
At the end of the day, I'm an actor. I'm not here to sell other stuff or use off-screen things to generate whether or not I work. If I'm any good, I'll work; if I'm not, I won't.
Try driving the streets of Los Angeles without seeing a billboard depicting a film with a lead actor holding a gun. It's almost as if guns are harmless props used to bring out the cheekbones and jawline of the screen star.
Certainly as an actor, half of your work is not going to end up on the screen anyway, because in the editorial process, they need to cut to the other actor in the scene. Very often, your best work ends up on the cutting room floor, because it just doesn't work with the overall narrative drive of the story.
Every young actor wants to do 'Hamlet' on the West End. Why? Because they can bring something to it.
Pay disparity is something I don't like honestly. I feel it depends on say, if any actress and actor at the same level bring in same number of people into theatres, they should be paid equally. That's just what I believe in.
