depth cost definitions
When you shoot on high-definition, everything is very sharp and clear, sometimes at the cost of losing dimension and depth of field.
ends few grab hours minutes starts
My average day on 'Leverage' starts at 5 A. M. and ends 12 to 14 hours later. An hour drive to the set and back sometimes makes the day unbearably long. You have to grab a few minutes to yourself where you can.
definitely homage julia
When I had the wonderful occasion to play a goofball, Jane, in 'Coupling,' it was definitely an homage to Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who I just think is a genius.
gig people
Some people think it's an easy gig working as an extra, but you often have to stay very concentrated for long stretches in challenging conditions.
One of the things you have to get used to, working on a TV show, is filming out of sync.
aware episodes relationship
One of the things you have to be acutely aware of when shooting episodes out of order is your character's relationship with the other characters.
bit series takes
One of the things that takes a bit of getting used to on an American series is having a different director, and often writer, every week.
favourite programme sit watch
My all-time favourite programme is 'Seinfeld;' I could just sit and watch that over and over again.
fulfil intense parts taste
I've had my taste of intense fame, and I've got it out of my system. Now I'm free to choose parts which fulfil me in different ways.
online steven
I think there was a petition online to get me involved in 'Doctor Who.' I'm not a 'Doctor Who' fanatic, but I am a Steven Moffat fanatic.
desire love
I love acting, and I have no desire to direct.
dynamics liked
I have always liked family-type dramas; I just think the dynamics in families make for some really interesting characters.
associated cultural regarding
Not surprisingly, there is a cultural divide between American and British actors regarding the self-promotion associated with new media.
change crew curly knowing sitting straight thumbs trailer worse
There is nothing worse than sitting in the make-up trailer knowing that the whole crew are twiddling their thumbs waiting for you to change your hair from straight to curly or up to down. Sometimes it can't be avoided.
