“I can't judge the characters I play, because it's for the audience to do. What I can try to do is to understand and embody what were they going through? How did they make the decisions they made?

“Usually it's just material that resonates with me and I never know exactly what that's gonna be. And there's obviously a certain persuasion, if you will. It's dependent upon the fact that I'm known for certain genres. So, that influences my decision making as well.

So, I do look for things that I know (will resonate with) my audience.” PeopleIfsKnowsWellsLooksMeanFactsWould BeActionCertainDifficultDecisionKnownAudienceInfluenceExampleMaterialsGenreDependentDecision MakingPersuasionThrillers Author:Michael Landon, Jr.
