“When I was a Hollywood press agent, I learned how the Hollywood casting system worked. There was a roster of actors who were always perfect as doctors or lawyers or laborers, and the directors just picked the types they needed and stuffed them into film after film. I do the same [with my characters], book after book.” BookCharacterFilmActorsPerfectTypeNeededDirectorsDoctorsHollywoodPressesLawyerAgentsCastingLaborersRosters Author:Richard Condon
“If you give the actors a problem 'I'm not getting something out of the scene' and it's the writing, we just don't have the scene, if you give them the problem and just give them some key thoughts they can bring some great solutions to the equation too. So if it's just not perfect, or I'm not getting all I can, I'll open it up to them and say let's talk about it.” IfsGivingWritingI CanProblemActorsPerfectKeysSceneSolutionsEquationsNot Perfect Author:Bryan Singer

“In my opinion, animation is best when it communicates without words, because it is the perfect medium through which to make shortcuts to meaning. When actors are not talking, just acting out, it looks kind of weird. But in animation, mime is constant, and you accept it.” LooksKindActorsPerfectActingTalkingAcceptingOpinionConstantCommunicateMediumsAnimationNot TalkingShortcutsActing OutMime Author:Signe Baumane
