blue actors typical
I much prefer the company of the crew, the sort of 'blue-collar working person.' I much more have that sensibility than what the public perceives as what a typical actor would have.
giving way actors
A lot of times, actors give so much power to the producers and the producing companies because, quite frankly, they have it. But we don't take the limited power that we have, which the power you initially have is to say 'no.' But 'no' in a positive way.
people challenges actors
Most people don't like challenges at work. Actors love challenges at work.
training actors way
Everybody works in a different way, and I've worked with actors that have no training whatsoever who are phenomenal.
trying actors littles
As an actor, you try to put a little bit of yourself in everything you do.
art jobs actors
Actors work for many reasons. Sometimes you do it because the material is good. Sometimes you do it because the paycheck is good. We would love to only do things that are art, that are artistic and that satisfy us, but this is our job, as well.
material wonderful
I've had some really wonderful opportunities in my career, 'Band of Brothers' being one of them. That's material that can really make a difference, but I don't think of that going into it - at least not consciously.
comedies few time
I've enjoyed the time I've had working on films. I've enjoyed television movie-of-the-week format. I've enjoyed the few comedies that I've done, and I've enjoyed one-hour television.
entertainment people serve shows touch ways
Some shows just go away - and that's fine. They serve their purpose and their entertainment value, but there are shows that touch people in different ways and that they remember.
cliched cliches people reduce sentences
Cliched characters are cliches because they're people being described by people who are on the outside. If you take two sentences from anybody and reduce them to just that, that's what you're going to get.
built full serves stuff work
Interestingly enough, my more high-profile things are in uniform. But if you look at my full body of work, there's a lot of stuff that's not in uniform. But I do a lot of stuff in the service, and I think that's just how I'm built physically. It just serves the roles.
good job
You're never going to do as good a job as you can if you're rushed.
good
Obviously, it's always a good to be in shape and to be fit.
jerry
Jerry Orbach is just phenomenal. He is genius, so present.
