It's the persona that makes you a leading actor. A leading actor has something extra that's fun to watch. But it isn't usually about acting.

A wonderful but kind of a terrible truth about acting is that you actually get to a point where you become content with an impossible task: it is really impossible to properly prepare. You kind of have to start over every time.
