“I'm always amazed... I took my 11-year-old to an oceanography camp, and these girls came over to me, and my son was like 'Oh here we go, Dad,' because they had been looking. They were like, 'You're the guy, aren't you?' And I said, 'Well, maybe.' They said, 'He is, he's the guy on 'Charmed!''” YearsWellsSaidGuyGirlSonLike YouDadMy SonCampsAmazedThey SaidCharmed Author:Tobin Bell
“I'm a character and relationship guy, and even with the 'Saw' films, it's special-effects people's jobs to create these scary things. It's not my job. My job is to bring some sense of humanity to the character, no matter how evil he may be. The script is going to take me there.” PeopleMayMatterCharacterJobsFilmGuyHumanityEvilSawsSpecialEffectsScriptsScaryTake MeSpecial EffectsScary Things Author:Tobin Bell
“'Saw VI' has a really interesting theme about the ripple effect. Everything you do affects the guy next to you, which affects the guy next to him, which affects her over here. And you might think that what you're doing is not that significant, but just the way you respond to other people makes the world the way it is.” PeopleThinkingWorldWayMightGuyNextInterestingSawsEffectsSignificantThemeReally InterestingRippleRipple Effect Author:Tobin Bell
“You know, the best-laid plans of mice and men... I like playing bad guys, and I don't have a problem doing that. They're interesting characters, and there's as many different kinds of bad guys as there are good guys - they're rich, they're strong, they're powerful, and so that's fine with me.” KnowsMenKindDifferentCharacterProblemGuyStrongInterestingPowerfulRichPlansFineDifferent KindsMiceBad GuysGood GuyInteresting CharactersBest Laid Plans Author:Tobin Bell
“I try to think of acting in terms of thinking and doing. People think of it as, "Oh, let's get inside this guy." They think that acting is being, or feeling, or emoting. It's as much doing. One of the first things you do as an acting student is ask, "Can you say words and do a task at the same time, like sweep a floor?" You get to watch the human condition, and there's always a "doing" aspect of it. This couple, they're carrying backpacks, where are they going? Students? Or are they carrying instruments? It stimulates the imagination. So acting is doing ... and I forget how we got off on that.” PeopleThinkingTryingFeelingsGuyTermImaginationForgetActingStudentsCoupleHuman Condition Author:Tobin Bell
