Whatever character you play, remember they are always doing something. They are not just talking. They are alive; going through a drama in which they will go through some sort of dramatic human experience. Keywords: Alive and Experience. It is your job to make them become so. Anything you do on stage or film has a direct relation to something you have experienced in one form or another in real life. Use your imagination to exaggerate or lessen that sensation. Then, disguise it in characterization and don`t forget to make lots and lots of mistakes, and look like a complete asshole. You`ll do fine. - T.H

Tom Hardy: ”Gary Oldman is my hero. When I went to drama school everybody used to quote him and his films […] and I’d sit there really quietly and think ‘no, no, you don’t, no I’m more of a Gary Oldman fan than you… So to work with him - for him to look me in the eye and talk to me, acknowledge that I exist, took the wind right out of me.” [x]
