“Acting is not about being someone different. It’s finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there.”
I definitely have an appreciation for good actors.
It is a wonderful thing to watch a really good movie, play or television series. Ā Of course a good plot moves a story along. But I alsoĀ love being drawn into a movieĀ because the protagonist does such a good job of convincing me of her plight andĀ draws an emotional connection for her plight. Ā It makes senseĀ that Meryl Streep said that acting was actually quite easy (at least for her) because she would try to find similarities with the characters that she would play. Ā So does that mean that Meryl has a little bit of the cool authority of her “Devil Wears Prada” character as well as the ambition/quiet leadership of Margaret Thatcher? Ā Perhaps.
In this photoshoot for W Magazine, this year’s most celebrated actors are once again playing different charactersĀ for the famous Tim Walker. The images are a bit surreal, exaggerated and a little quirky.Ā I supposed it also shows that actors can always find themselves in a character, no matter how wonderful and wacky! Ā I may not be an actress, but I can appreciate findingĀ similarities with others, no matter how different we may be…and dressing up once in a while, because it can be fun to play a very distinct version of yourself.

Have a great start to your week too dear!
What a cool shoot! Meryl Streep is awesome.
Wow, these are so different. I love the spread. I hardly recognized a couple of these actors.
Cheryl – seriously Tim Walker really transformed some of these actors (Shailene especially!) I loved this shoot because it was so quirky.
I also have an appreciation for good actors as well as good writing. And good actors who are also good writers are a special breed. What a fun shoot!
A good actor or actress has to be able to connect with the character they’re playing to bring them to “life”. If they don’t, it won’t come through on screen.
