My basic profession is as an actor, and I have learnt much about life through working as an actor. Working as an actor is really a spiritual profession, since it means to create life on the stage. It means to play a role totally, while at the same ti...
Why is an actor's unintentional giggling called a 'corpse'? It seems to me quite the opposite. It proves that he's very much alive, and can still tell how silly this all is: him dressed up as someone else speaking words written by a third party.
My advice to actors? To successful actors, it's, 'sock it away,' and unsuccessful actors, it's just, 'Just keep at it. Don't do it unless you have to do it, and if you have to do it, keep - you've got to keep your instrument in shape.' You just got t...
I think people involved in politics make good actors. Acting and politics both involve fooling people. People like being fooled by actors. When you get right down to it, they probably like being fooled by politicians even more. A skillful actor will ...
Actors aren't all the same. They have very different skills. There are actors of intellect who are very thoughtful about everything they do... and then there are actors of instinct who don't know what they're doing until the cameras roll... My father...

Billy Campbell who is... I... truly one of the most talented actors today.
Every actor has a natural animosity toward every other actor, present or absent, living or dead.
I was only a leading man for a minute; now I'm a character actor.
Thankfully I'm a better actor than football player, or at least I hope so.
I'm lucky to just be a working actor. There are so many great actors out there and I'm just lucky to have gotten work.
People assume actors are born liars, but I'd argue the actor's job is to tell the truth. And I've realised I'm not a good liar.
I never said, 'I'm going to be a big star.' I said, 'I'm going to be a good actor.' And that took the pressure off.
I think Michael Caine is a perfectly good actor but it's obvious he's not going to be in one of my films.
I just can't say enough about the actors having faith and trust in the writers and the writers having faith and trust in the actors.
