The biggest compliment I get is that I don't sound like anybody else. I think I value that as the highest compliment.

Burton Cummings

I think the biggest compliment an actor can have is if people forget who they're watching and get lost in the character.

Cuba Gooding, Jr.

I can't imagine that anyone in Hollywood is sitting around trying to decide what actor is good or right or qualified for a role and is being denied a role because of their political views. I don't think that's the way Hollywood works. We're not living in an era of blacklisting.

Kevin Spacey

As an actor, the biggest compliment you can get, in my book is for someone to believe that you're the character.

Matt LeBlanc

The biggest compliment I can ever get as an actor is to have someone say, 'We didn't recognize you.'

Tim Daly

I think it's a star-making turn for Audrey Tautou. I can't imagine anyone else playing that role. Um, to me, is she Amelie, for better or for worse.

Tiya Sircar

The biggest compliment? I would say, "You helped me." I think in terms of life, not just with acting. But certainly with storytelling, being able to hold up a mirror and allow someone to relate to a story and see something in themselves to the extent that you're in service to another human being - I don't know why else we're here. To know that I helped someone would be the biggest compliment I could ever receive.

Thomas Sadoski

I'm a character actor and I get lost in these characters, so I think it's only recently that people have begun to connect dots and go, 'Oh, that's the same person that did this, this, this, this and this!' which I take as a compliment. One time somebody called me an illusionist, and that was the nicest thing anyone has ever said.

Carrie Preston

I don't think special attention should be given to an actor or a singer or a baseball player or a soccer player more than anyone else, but they do have an opinion like anyone else.

Viggo Mortensen

My own personal process with movies is to develop the characters with the actors and, when I've done that properly, you can't imagine anyone else, but that actor, playing that part.

Doug Liman

I think the biggest backhanded criticism-compliment I get is that I'm 'good at communicating.' Which implies that you're bad at doing.

Bjarke Ingels

The person who does that role better than anyone else is the person who should get that role, regardless of their background or heritage.

Chita Rivera

I don't see myself as one type of actor. When you get one role, you start to get cast in that role for awhile because that's what people have seen you do, and have hopefully seen you do it successfully. And so, it becomes an easier thing to see you as, for casting directors and directors, and they start to think of you as that particular person or type of character. But, for me, I'm just an actor, first and foremost. The actors I respect are the real character actors, who are the real chameleon actors that completely change from role to role.

Fran Kranz

When an actor gets a role, especially in series television where he really is the part, the audience never thinks of another actor playing that role. If they accept you in the role, then they can't separate the actor from the character.

Robert Picardo

I don't think anyone who I went to school with would have necessarily have been like, Oh, he's going to be an actor one day.' I am just as surprised as anyone else.

Nicholas Galitzine

The actor's role in the community is quite unlike anyone else's. Businessmen, for example, don't take their clothes off or cry in front of strangers in the course of their work. Actors do.

Wallace Shawn
