isaacoscar: “I have been very fortunate, I’ve had a lot of opportunities to play vastly different people. But it hasn’t just been luck, I’ve been very active in making sure — for instance, when I get a script, if the script describes the character as Latin or whatever ethnicity it might be, my very first thing is to take that away, and to see what’s there. Because often what happens is you get characters that are quite bland that the only interesting thing about them is that they’re exotic and they’re from some sort of ‘weird place’, that they speak funny or have funny cultural things or may be ‘passionate!’ or ‘bad-tempered!’ or ‘they like food and family!’ So that’s one of the first things I’ll do just to make sure that it’s not just something that’s being stamped on to make it more interesting or to fill some quota.” x -- source link
