letsgetdowney:Sometimes I’ll find a director has me overdoing a scene, like the same take 40 times, so I’ll try to find a way to make it entertaining to me. What would be fun to do here? And I’ll start to do something in a take that might have nothing in it that’s relevant to the film, but you know sometimes it works. If you run out of ideas and you just go to the grab bag, sometimes cool stuff comes up. Also, I’m not above mentioning the fact that I have no idea who I really am, so sometimes that can inform a performance.happy 54th birthday, robert john downey jr (april 4th, 1965) -- source link
