My process seems to be unusual in the sense that I don't create worlds before characters. With me, character is king.
I think a lot of podcasts have a lot of amazing character work. Seth Morris does this amazing character, Boch Duco, which I think is one of the funniest, most well-realized characters that I've ever seen or heard.
Well, I don't think characters change. I think they become more revealed. I don't think you really can change a character on a show.
The characters can't be wittier than people are in real life. They have to be character witty.
I think I'm very strong at dialogue, I think I'm very strong in characterization. I think sometimes I use dialogue and character work to cover weaknesses in my plotting.
I don't see a difference between the idea of what an actor does and what someone supposes a character actor is, really.
Every character has their reasons - even the characters who do dumb things.
I don't much believe in the idea of characters. I write with words, that is all. Whether those words are put in the mouth of this or that character does not matter to me.
And I've been acting for 39 years, so I define characters differently than I did in say Miami Vice.
