A lot of the time with child actors, you get the feeling theyโre trying to have a kind of poise or presentation thatโs beyond their years that might be put on, but also might be because theyโve spent years just hanging out with adults and they donโt even have a sense of what itโs like to grow up with kids their own age.
Alessandro NivolaThe thing with being able to do accents is that it's still completely separate from being an actor.
Alessandro NivolaGรฉza Rรถhrig is just incredible because he's not an actor, he's a Hungarian poet. He also happens to be a brilliant actor. He's totally unusual, the way he talks and thinks and operates isn't in the same language as you're used to from actors who've been in a lot of things before. It brings this completely bizarre and fresh, wonderful way of approaching everything that I love being around. Not where I'm, as a producer, having to interact with him as an artist, but as somebody who can stand back and admire what he's bringing to this thing that I've nurtured to create a stage for him.
Alessandro NivolaFor a long time a lot of people thought I'm British, because I'd done so many roles with English accents. People probably still think it. Or they don't think anything.
