It's well known that actors are lousy writers.
Actors always think that others are getting more work than them. In my case, they usually are.
I don't think it's the case that 'posh actors' get more work than others.
In my experience, it's usually up to the actor how a character is portrayed.
When you're working with really good actors, it raises your own game and you get better.
I was an actor... or, at least, I was trying to be an actor.
Despite all the wonderful advances that have been made, it's still dangerous for an actor to talk about that in our extremely misguided culture. Look at what happened in California with Proposition 8. Please, don't pretend that we're suddenly all wonderfully, blissfully accepted.
We remember Ronald Reagan as a man who maximized his gifts from an unknown to an actor to a Governor to the leader of the Free World.
That's the first time I've been involved in such a big way as a voice actor and this script [Voltron] is very matter of factly.

Movie making is really, it's a director's medium, it's not even so much an actor's medium.
You work with each individual actor as you perceive their needs to be. It's something that you've figured out in the weeks of pre-production.
It is really hard when the actor you pictured can't do the film.
One of the great things about the 'Iron Man' franchise is that they employ fascinating actors who don't necessarily do action movies. Before 'Iron Man' you didn't associate Robert Downey, Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow with those kinds of films. There's an emphasis on repartee and wit.
I think acting can be very frustrating, and there's no experience that doesn't make you a better actor.
