Cable series have more time to focus on characters, and a structure that allows for a development in character as you go along. Network shows have a pressure of time and space that is completely different.
What I think is wonderful is that women are not just avengers or victims in films. They are people. They are characters. It's so refreshing. They're playing different kinds of characters, and they aren't being typecast.
I want to be like Robin Williams, really. It's all the different characters he does, all the different voices.
Something that I really enjoy doing is creating and being a part of very different characters and very different projects.
The great thing about acting is that you get to be a lot of different things in one lifetime. You get to explore different personalities and characters.
I've always loved film and wanted to work in film. I just love working and creating new characters, and trying different genres and different things.
I look at rap as an opportunity to act. My head is full of different characters - in each song I'm auditioning a character.
My hope is that people will be repulsed by the character's complete lack of ethics and obsession with consumerism - that's what I was saying about the difference between the character's message and the film's message.
Bodily vigor is good, and vigor of intellect is even better, but far above both is character. It is true, of course, that a genius may, on certain lines, do more than a brave and manly fellow who is not a genius; and so, in sports, vast physical stre...
I don't see a difference between playing a performance capture role and a live action role, they're just characters to me at the end of the day and I'm an actor who wants to explore those characters in fantastically written scripts. The only caveat i...
Acting is a job you can learn a lot in. You get to play lots of different characters with different professions and different backgrounds; they come from different places than you do, so it's really fun when you're immersing yourself in that world of...
It's so fun to just slip on different hats and play different characters, even if it's just for a minute.
It's the same as any role and I find that you can't lump characters together; because they all have different life experiences, different reasons for being the way they are.
As a writer, I challenge myself not to tell the same story - to tackle different characters with different issues.
Look, every actor has a different way of preparing or creating a character and yeah, we all are from different backgrounds.
To play different characters on a TV show where you're working every day, playing multiple characters every day, it's so ridiculously intense.
Acting offers me an outlet. Here is the perfect opportunity to spend fleeting moments becoming an entirely different person; to experience a character entirely unlike myself, but to also make such a character a part of me. There is no routine here; t...
I like playing characters that are true to life, and there's no guarantee that any of us are going to be okay, but we intend to be, and we take the time to try to be. I don't think it's any different for a character.
I'm a character actor but unlike a lot of character actors, I don't look radically different from film to film and there was a bunch of them at once.
I've always liked the downtrodden character on different shows. Before 'Parks,' I loved the Toby character on 'The Office.' I do like playing that type of thing.
'True Blood' differs from 'Six Feet Under' in that there are way more characters and plot-lines, but fundamentally it's still about the characters and their emotions.
