Character Play Challenges

More From Giancarlo Esposito

Playing is no challenge; every time that you get a role you get to go play with other people in the sandbox and so there is no challenge, real challenge. the challenge, the major challenge is getting the work, finding the sandbox.
Real Play People
ِan offer you can't refuse.

[on playing walter] it was wonderful to be able to play a character who had so many colors and who was able to play comedy, to play incredibly vulnerable, which he did a lot of the time, to play the love story, and to play the relationship with the son, which is quite unusual. that's a gift to me, as an actor. it was like everything you could possibly hope for, over five years. so, i was a very lucky actor.
Lucky Actors
Work with good directors. without them your play is doomed. at the time of my first play, i thought a good director was someone who liked my play. i was rudely awakened from that fantasy when he directed it as if he loathed it. . . . work with good actors. a good actor hears the way you (and no one else) write. a good actor makes rewrites easy. a good actor tells you things about your play you didn't know.
Writing Play Way
I could play a cop, i could play a crook, i could play a lawyer, i could play a dentist, i could play an art critic-i could play the guy next door. i am the guy next door. i could play catholic, jewish, protestant. as a matter of fact, when i did the odd couple, i would do it a different way each night. on monday i'd be jewish, tuesday italian, wednesday irish-german-and i would mix them up. i did that to amuse myself, and it always worked.

I'd like to think that i don't have a stock character that i go to. i'm lucky in that when you get to initiate your own scene, you get to play whoever you want. that's really kind of cool, but all my characters are short. i look on the videotape, and i thought they were taller, but they're all 5'2".
Character Thinking Play
Lyndon johnson is still the most formidable, fascinating, frustrating, irritating individual i think i've ever known in my entire life. he was huge, a huge character, not only standing six feet four, but when you talked to him, he violated the normal human space between people. he was a great storyteller. the problem was that half his stories, i discovered, weren't true.
Character Thinking Space
I don't have to live the lives of my characters to write about them. it's about really putting yourself in their shoes.
Writing Character Shoes
Noble characters and pure affections and happy scenes are very comforting things. they're a refuge from life's disillusionments.
