Well, it's difficult to fall in love with a character when you just read the pilot. You don't really know who the character is.
I can't think of anything that I turned down that became big and successful.
I'm an actor who hates dialogue and the present day and reality.
Hopefully what you do as an actor is strong enough and has enough of an impact that people get what you're trying to communicate.
I'm a TV addict, and I personally really enjoy reality TV.
I don't really need a lot of help from a director.
