Zitat des Tages von Georgina Campbell:
I do think that being a BAME actor does make it difficult to avoid stereotypes.
You just never see people of different ethnicities in period dramas.
If you read the script, and the character's got something in it that you relate to, then I am keen. But I really think, a lot of the time, my successful auditions are those where I really care about the characters.
Anything in which you're playing someone real does make you feel responsible for making the story as true as it can be.
I was 16 and standing on Tottenham Court Road when this woman came over and asked me if I was an actress. She wanted me to audition for an online drama she was directing. I had time to kill, so I thought, 'Why not?'
I'm not really into destiny, but it's funny - I bumped into a woman who told me about an audition, and now I have a BAFTA.
It happens a lot that women have to play the girlfriend role, which isn't as three-dimensional as the male role.
I have used dating apps a couple of times in the past and met people, but it is a difficult thing because you're meeting someone who you really don't know and you have no link to. I have friends who have had great relationships after meeting on Tinder or Bumble, so I'd never say never, but it hasn't worked for me.
We've always had a sadistic obsession with technology.
I watch everything with Olivia Colman in.
I certainly didn't have an exciting or a crazy childhood.
I'd like to work at the Royal Court Theatre, please.
Awards do get you 'that profile,' but then you have to do the rest of the work - it's not just a case of 'now you don't have to do anything.'
It's so hard to get into this industry. There are so many people who are so talented, and they never get those opportunities.
I think people in the U.K. should be concerned about the under-representation of BAME actors in TV and Film, because it is an incorrect reflection of our society.
America seems much more diverse and has more exciting casting - they really take risks.
I've always wanted to do a horror film. I don't know if my agent will be happy I said that when I get sent some crap horror films, but I'd like to do a good one, like 'It Follows,' or 'The Babadook.'
