In one book, CACHALOT, just for my own amusement, every character is based directly on someone I have known.
I personally take cues directly from the script, then I like to surprise the other actors. But you must maintain control on a level and see how far you can go up, down or out emotionally. You have to balance the craft with spontaneity.
