I think all actors are supposed to be character actors.
I think first impressions are important when you pick up a script.
You can change a person's life in an instant; put him in a movie, and you start thinking differently, you want to be in another movie. It's like an addiction almost.
This is my first experience working in a foreign movie, but the mechanics, I think, are pretty much the same all over; you still have to wait in the trailer.
You cant act for the editing. You just go in and do the scene the way you think is right.
