    1. Dr. Ellie Lockhart. Republic serial villain.‏ @BootlegGirl 27 Sep 2020

      whenever I read Troy Baker’s takes on Joel I wonder how often this sort of thing happens where an actor portrays a character really well, genuinely likes and is proud of the role (not just phoning it in and being really good at acting by default), but just doesn’t get them

      I think it is pretty common. Real easy to end up there is you are coming from a method type acting direction where you want the emotional beats of a character to feel relatable to you as a person.

      But the character is kind of a piece of shit, whereas you (the actor) are not.

      There's also the difference between getting in the mindset of a character and understanding the *actual* reasons for a character's behavior, since a lot of us also lack that self-awareness.

      Like I have seen a *ton* of actors who play villains who end up arguing their characters aren't evil just misunderstood when they're clearly pretty bad people.

      Yeah, it is super common and I try to give the actors way more benefit of the doubt in those scenarios. I have taken enough acting classes to how you end up feeling like you have to do that.

      You cannot simultaneously judge the character as an audience member and embody the character as an actor, yes, you have to decide whether you're doing one or the other at the moment Directors often ban critic-talk of that kind while a production is going

          That's a pretty common reason for an acting failure where you feel like the character is fake, it's someone doing an impression of the guy and not the actual guy standing in front of you The actor can't really *be* him, he has to show you he thinks he's a villain

          I had a teacher tell me that that's why he banned talking about "the character" in the third person when directing something For acting purposes, there is no "character" as a separate external person who exists outside of you, it *is you*, just "under different circumstances*
