A Quote by Rajkummar Rao

It is not that I am only looking at doing biopics. But of course, as an actor, I always love portraying real-life characters because there is so much challenge involved in recreating somebody's life.

The challenge is always in portraying characters who've led a very different life from your's as you get to work on the character.

Ayesha Takia

You're in a very nice position as an actor when you're portraying a piece of history that actually happened and portraying characters that actually existed. There's so much more to draw on and your research as an actor becomes much easier than if it's some fiction that you're trying to create a world around and background and history.

Jamie Dornan

I'm portraying out characters, I'm portraying femme characters, characters that are really outside of the box. I never thought I would get that opportunity to portray those characters at all, much less have a career that I have.

Nico Santos

I am looking to play powerful characters and as far as biopics are concerned.

Manisha Koirala

There will always be a slight difference between the reel and the real. Even my family might know 99 per cent about me, but there will be this one per cent about me that nobody will ever know. Being in this profession, I am fine with biopics or movies inspired by real-life-characters.

Vidya Balan

I love it when I get to play characters that are much younger than I am in real life. I feel it's an advantage.

Shweta Tripathi

I love playing these characters that are crazy tough, though. Because I am not in real life. Not at all.

Katee Sackhoff

I enjoy dramatic narration, of course, because I'm an actor and I started as an actor. But I love things that are a challenge, and I look forward to more work with that in the future. So there's always a sun coming up the following day for me.

Peter Cullen

I love playing real characters... if they're not around anymore it's helpful because you won't get sued! But there's so much research involved and I love that part of the process.

Andy Serkis

Any aspect of life can help you be a better actor because what are we doing except living life while somebody's recording it?

Yannick Bisson

I love the true life stories and the biopics - people say I'm pigeonholed, but it's a fantastic kind of pigeonhole - but it's tough to then go and direct it because I know all the real people.

Dustin Lance Black

Characters that are not the norm or a bit out of the ordinary are always a challenge as an actress. You learn more by using different tools for those type of characters. They are always much more fun to play and much more interesting. They take you places that you wouldn't necessarily go in your everyday life.

Sally Hawkins

What I love to do requires portraying different characters, and you have to separate your life from the role.

Natasha Calis

I have a lot of real life experience that I can draw on. And I think that shows in the characters that I play because I'm always trying to find somebody - or find characters to play that I can identify with on a personal level or relate to. And I think it makes for a little bit more of an honest portrayal.

Mark Wahlberg

I am a known actor who wants to challenge himself in difficult roles. I am not a star but an actor, so I am always looking for strong scripts and strong roles.
