Protagonists traditionally are active characters.
Look at the Coen brothers. All their minor characters are as interesting as their protagonists. If the smaller characters are well-written, the whole world of the film becomes enriched. It's not the size of the thing, but the detail.
I'm drawn to characters who bear similarities to the protagonists in myths and legends. (...)
The beauty of Sudhir's protagonists is that they are not shown as black and white. There are various layers to the characters.
Characters stretching their legs in some calm haven generally don't make for interesting protagonists.
I like when people question if the characters are really villains or protagonists. These types are very interesting to write about.
In today's time, when there is so much competition, they must not only focus on the characters of antagonists or protagonists, it is better for them to be good actors first.
Traditionally in zombie movies, one of the main characters dies.
The most important thing in the job is to make movies about women where they are characters that have consequences in the story. They can be villains, they can be protagonists, I don't care but their movements, their actions what they do in the plot has to actually matter.
Traditionally, lots of vagrants and unemployable characters wind up working in kitchens.

It's important for people of colour to have the opportunities to play characters that are as nuanced - as three-dimensional, as human - as the characters who we traditionally see getting to play the protagonist. The good guys and the bad guys. The reason that is important is because it's a better reflection of the reality of the world we live in.
Thrillers have been traditionally very masculine books; the women characters often rather decorative.
I believe young children in particular enjoy witnessing the survival of youthful protagonists against terrible odds. I think it's gratifying to the reader when you give young characters that kind of agency.
There aren't many children's books about black characters that are just going on adventures. My library has over 2,000 children's books in it, and most of the protagonists are either white or creatures.
Television is often out ahead on social issues. With film, we've only recently proved that one of the oldest misconceptions in the book is wrong, which is the idea that girls will see films with boys as protagonists, but boys won't see movies with girls as protagonists.
When my daughter was born, I was reading a lot of children's books, and there weren't any characters who looked like her. For all the content that's out there, there aren't many African-American protagonists. I looked at it like, if there isn't someone else creating it then I have to do it myself.
