U don’t really mature once you finish puberty. It’s like a mindset thing. You can look old and still be immature .

I'm a small time actor. But I've been an extra on many big shows. It's crazy how some actors take the job seriously while others don't. I was on set for an Apple TV show. The scene had one "star" and one other man. They shot it twice, once over the shoulder of the man, another time over the shoulder of the woman. I was so disappointed to see the "star" give absolutely nothing when her face was not in the shot. The poor guy was just acting his heart out, while the "star" just gave nothing for the actor to react to. Since then, I've worked in bigger works , and no matter where I am on set, on or off the camera, I give it 100%. Being an actor is a huge privilege, and it deserves 100% professional behavior.

When I lived in Savannah, I was an extra in a few movies, and it is crazy how different actors are. The most shocking one to me was how professional and kinda Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck were. I was an extra in a the crowd of the strip-tease part of the movie, and even though it was a completely silly moment, Ben was so serious and professional.. they spent so much time talking about camera angles and lighting. And just to add some humor... when they were talking about the scene, they said..' there is going to be a striptease scene with Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck... and I was like ' I'm in, you don't have to pay me'.... and little did I know how the scene would play out..

I think it was Hitchcock who said (I'm paraphrasing) that if he was casting someone for the role of a drunk, he wanted the most sober actor he could find. Not surprising that someone as talented as Bryan Cranston would have similar advice.

I remember Anthony Hopkins talking about his preparation for Remains of the Day (might have been some other movie). He said that he had read the script 80 times to memorize it to perfection and then just act. That is some tremendous work ethic.

@gpeddino

2 ай бұрын

In "Two Popes", there's a scene in which Hopkins waves his hand mid-conversation to scare a fly away. He actually came up with that (it was not in the script) and did the same movement in every take. Everything about his performance is rehearsed and thought out beforehand. Stunning.

It's more than acting advice, it's life advice. Be grateful be professional.

Well yes and no. Acting is creative work and the people who are actors usually love their job so they better be grateful for it. The same may not be true for someone like a toll booth operator. For them it's just a job to get money. They may not be creatively or personally satisfied from it so they prob don't feel that same sense of gratefulness. It depends on the nature of your job and whether you enjoy it or not.

That tennis ball would probably win an Emmy. Bryan Cranston gives a performance of a lifetime as “The tennis ball”, in the lifetime original “I’m the one who bounces”.

Of course it's so much more than that. Craft is a huge part of course, not just knowing but being creative with your lines, taking care of your instrument, and the endless selling of your quote unquote brand through social media and personally to name a few. And relationships. Sustaining relationships, that's key. Not taking anything personally. Having a good deal of discernment and being able to pick up on social cues. Confidence in yourself, in others, and collaborative non-egoism. And the things you can't control like your TVQ, they also matter. It's a lot of work on different fronts. And if you become a regularly working actor, a team working for you.

Cranston and Conan have such natural chemistry and ease with each other. And since they're both funny and intelligent, these video clips of them make for a great watch.

“Enjoy [Life]. Don’t take it too seriously. Don’t feel you are entitled to anything. You are very lucky. And I think if you flow with that, you get a chance to have fun and goof around”

Most famous actor who didn’t learn his lines is Marlon Brando for multiple motion pictures but most notable was The Godfather he thought he was above these movies. I love Marlon but I never want to be like him. When I perform I over act until the director says go if you work in film they hardly say action. I am an aspiring actor and I would love to grace the screen with Brain what an amazing fellow and a phenomenal pretender 😉😆🎬

Bryan is spot on. He’s a leader.

His comment about not wanting to hear a complaint while working as an actor struck home. x'D I just did a feature length indie movie as a lead role in Cali where one day I was on set until 3:30am, and another day (luckily not the one right after) I had to be on set at 7am. And on that night we were on set until 3:30, I was exhausted. And on the day I had to be on set at 7am, I'm not a morning person and hate having to be up that early. But I also knew there was no way I could complain, and honestly I didn't want to. Because I was doing exactly what I'd been trying to do for 7 years and was finally acting in a movie and loving every minute of it. I got to do a ride-along with the Redding, CA police department to prepare for another role and that was at 7am and nothing happened the entire 4 hours I was in that car. And I loved it because I knew other people were working in cubicles an filing paperwork. I love being an actor, and I'm going to do it as long as I can.

Why does Bryan Cranston look like he’s auditioning to play Gourley in a flash-forward scene?

I've heard this clip a couple times and it just hit me Brian Cranston tells the audience If you love acting and you want to do it for a living, don't shut down and complain about the little things you might have to deal with like working early/late. Then his story is, that production asks him to work solo to get a shot while the other actor is at lunch and he says no we're gonna wait. He's a lovely man, salt of the earth. But like.... that's... him shutting down and complaining about the little things. As an actor you're expected to be able to perform in flexible conditions to meet production. Yes the other actor might've been out of line, taking their time maybe. But for whatever reason the production didn't want to go and force them back (maybe they weren't late and this was their only lunch break), and also needed to get the shot done on a schedule. And depending on how long they waited, he just forced a bunch of crew members who get paid a small fixed rate to hang around an extra couple hours away from their families. They don't get huge breaks between productions like on-camera talent gets. They work 5+ days a week every week. To be clear, I imagine him knowing his lines and being professional wherever he works saves more time than he ever wastes. I'm sure he's great for the whole crew in general. But he didn't really realize the story he told right afterwards contradicts what he just said. It's just a funny example to use is all.

@levyloup-noe6187

10 ай бұрын

I disagree. He meant the quality of the work should come before comfort. The reason he stood his ground against production wasn't so that it would be easier for him to play but so that he could deliver a better performance. So he "sacrificed" his comfort (and everyone else's) to create a better scene. That's just commitment. Your point about other workers in the movie industry is valid though.
