Actors My Friends Impressed

More From Jeremy London

The actor has to have some degree of craft, along with the talent. no one tries to laugh except bad actors. no one tries to cry except bad actors. how a character hides his feelings tells us who he is. most people don't know that, and most actors don't do that. therefore, there are a lot of actors who put me to sleep, that are considered good actors, but they're predictable and boring. i know how the scene is going to end before it ends.
Character Sleep Laughing
Friends are sometimes a big help when they share your feelings. in the context of decisions, the friends who will serve you best are those who understand your feelings but are not overly impressed by them.
Decision Feelings Helping
You work with every actor differently. it's like if you're a mother, if you have children, some children need more discipline. other children you back off of a little bit and let them be. it's the same way with actors. some actors need a lot of hand holding. other actors like to be let be and you let them go. some actors like to be nudged just a little bit. some actors don't mind line readings.
Mother Children Reading
I hear about actors being exterior actors and actors being instinctual actors and i always think it's crap. anybody who knows anything about it knows that good actors do both - they do inside-outward and they do outside-inward. you can't not do both.
Thinking Inward Actors
I’ve never agreed with the conventional wisdom that ‘actors are great liars.’ if more people understood the acting process, the goals of good actors, the conventional wisdom would be ‘actors are terrible liars,’ because only bad actors lie on the job. the good ones hate fakery and avoid manufactured emotion at all costs. any script is enough of a lie anyway. (what experience does any actor have with flying a spacecraft? killing someone?) what’s called for, what actors are hired for, is to bring reality to the arbitrary.
Jobs Liars Lying
I love actors, both my parents were actors, and the work with actors is the most enjoyable part of making a film. it's important that they feel protected and are confident they won't be betrayed. when you create that atmosphere of trust, it's in the bag - the actors will do everything to satisfy you.

There are secrets everywhere. i think everyone's parents have secrets. you just have to know where to look for them.
Thinking Parent Secret
The first four months of my life were spent in care, before i was adopted by my wonderful parents - my mum and dad - ernie and christine. they went on to adopt my sister, who is profoundly deaf, and invested both of us with a love and support that informs everything i do today.
