You do get fond of your characters. Handing them on is like giving a child to a nanny.
Commercials are 20 seconds long, so you don't get to experiment with your characters. But in films, you get to try out your acting skills.
You get thought of in terms of your last job. So if my last job is that of a meat cleaver-wielding character, I will hardly be cast as some benign, older gentleman.
I did a lot of theater, so especially as an on-camera camera actor, there are so many things that aren't in your toolbox. They're somebody else's job. You think about editors and rhythm. Volume isn't even in your control.
As an author you hope your characters have sparks but truly in the end they have minds of their own!
You have to be generous if you want to spend your time making someone else dinner. Even if you're charging, you're still giving.
Any time you get to dig deeper into your character, you welcome it, especially on a TV show.
It's very rare that you get a director that lets you be creative and bring what you feel your character should do or should be.
You have to respect who the character is. It has its own internal truth, and you can't betray that. And if you don't betray that, it will not betray you.
