The most effective acting performances are those that appear effortless to the audience, even though the actor knows the work behind it.

“my favorite kind of actors are the ones who make things look effortless yes right like I don't ever want to see someone act no right I want to see I want to like disappear into them or I want to like be taken by them”

The hallmark of great acting is the ability to ground a character and make them appear effortless, rather than making the work visible to the viewer.

“my favorite kind of actors are the ones who make things look effortless yes right like I don't ever want to see someone act no right I want to see I want to like disappear into them or I want to like be taken by them”

He believes that actors should maintain their natural performance style rather than over-rehearsing or adopting artificial techniques that diminish their screen presence.

“I was taking a little classes but I always I always had a naturalness about myself. So I didn't want to lose that. I wanted to kind of like learn a little bit but kind of keep my naturalness cuz sometime as an actor people start acting like they're acting and I never want to just lose the realness.”

He believes the acting process is improved by focusing on honest emotional moments rather than relying on over-the-top performance choices.

“and then the more you like act it's all about then finding the real honest moments and when it like when you can really like embody the character really tap into your emotions”

The core of film acting is the capacity to let experiences happen naturally while performing on camera.

“I think for me that was one of the hardest things to learn which is how do you how do you let something happen to you on camera and because I think that's what it's about I think the experience of of of film acting is about living on camera”

An actor's job is not to follow instructions blindly but to prioritize what feels honest and engage in an active collaborative conversation with the director.

“I think any of the actors in that cast come in and do what they're told because you don't want I don't think that's I don't think your job as an actor is to do what you're do you're told I think it's to do what feels honest”

Directing should be a collaborative process where the director uses subtle guidance to lead the actor to the desired result.

“I'm easy to direct just don't tell me what to do yeah yeah that's great make me but but I love it when you manipulate me yeah and make me think it's a my idea but it was really yours”
