stars character actors
Dustin Hoffman said this one time, that if he hadn't made it as a film star, he would still be happy as a character actor because he was a character actor because of his face from day one, so he would always work in the theater.
play guy actors
There are some guys I know for a fact, like Louis C.K., who always talk about how not-great of an actor he is, and he's terrific on his show. But I know Louis would play a fantastic dramatic role in something, too. He just needs somebody to grab him and say, 'Come in here and do this.'
writing actors sound
You can have good writing, but a great actor will make it feel and sound like great writing. You can have great writing, and mediocre actors will make it feel mediocre. Without the actors, you have nothing.

Sometimes 'great acting' is just showing off - chewing up scenery and dialogue and other actors - the equivalent of a theatrical sugar rush.
writing actors television
I'd love to do another television series. I really love the writing process, and as an actor I really like how much you get to examine in television.
diego emotional fear funny gets john leader ray smart thinks
Ray Romano gets the films' emotional moments, John the funny ones, but Diego makes it all happen. Diego is still a leader smart and strong, but he thinks he may be getting soft' because of his fear of the water.

I will tell you that the last five shows are going to really blow people out of the water. There's gonna be a lot of head-spinning going on.
