Summary

This quote emphasizes the advantage of making a film adaptation of a work that an actor has previously performed in a play for an extended period. The actors gain a deep understanding of their character, as the weeks of stage performance allow them to explore different aspects of the character's behavior and life. By the time filming begins, the actors have thoroughly developed their character's nuances and can bring a profound level of knowledge and authenticity to the portrayal on camera.
