I think that's all you can hope for as an actor when you read a script that after the first thirty pages it has some meaning to it.
Cary Elwes
Image
There's a myth about actors saying, 'Oh no, that's not me on screen at all. I'm just acting.' OK, if I were to say to you that's not me, that's fine. And I would tell you that I don't behave like a villain everyday, and that's true, I don't. But to say there's absolutely none of me in there is ridiculous.

I consider myself a student, both in my work and my life, and I'm constantly learning and I'm constantly grateful for that.
Cary Elwes
Image
No one is black and white or good or bad or happy or sad or what have you. [All have] particular idiosyncrasies that make them fascinating and that's how I tend to approach a character.
Cary Elwes

Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
