    It's funny about the lines. I can practice my lines until I am blue in the face, but they don't sit until I step onto the stage in rehearsal, look the other actors on the face, and hear what they are saying. So yes, the work starts once everyone is there. Once the other characters show up and we start living and breathing the scene together.

    He may be an actor and his comments are about acting but considering that most actors are so far up their arses it is surprising they can actually walk about, I am no actor, but it is obvious Bill Nighy speaks absolute 'common sense' in regard to his profession. Bill is exactly the same in all aspects of life, when I ever I listen to him, I could not agree with him more, especially in regard to his observations on life and opinions, thus he should either become a lifelong Minister for COMMON SENSE or force all MPs every year to spend a week with him, learning what common sense is.

    Rarely. But there are barely any actors who can do that. He plays himself but with such convincing humanity in his performance that he makes characters believable and realistic. And if you compare his voice acting in Rango, to his performances in Underworld, to Davy Jones in Pirates and to his comedy-drama stuff... Well, you'll see he's got quite some range.
