Quote by Linda Lavin
Making a film of a work you've played for six weeks gives you intimate knowledge of the character. By the time you go in front of the camera you've worked out the behavior and life of a character.
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.
