Character Preparation Sometimes

More From Vin Diesel

Riddick is an antihero. he's the quintessential antihero. we all know how much i love antiheroes. it takes you 45 minutes in the movie just for riddick to understand the word "heroism," let alone for anyone to hope that he can be heroic.
Heroism Heroic Minutes
As we grow older, we should learn that these are two quite different things. character is something you forge for yourself; temperament is something you are born with and can only slightly modify. some people have easy temperaments and weak characters; others have difficult temperaments and strong characters. we are all prone to confuse the two in assessing people we associate with. those with easy temperaments and weak characters are more likable than admirable; those with difficult temperaments and strong characters are more admirable than likable.

In a sense, all actors are character actors, because we're all playing different characters. but a lot of the time - and i don't know, because i'm not a writer - but writers a lot of times write second- and third-tier characters better than they write primary characters. i guess they're more fun.
Fun Writing Character
The great thing about acting is, because you're constantly playing other characters and exploring yourself because you have to find those other characters in yourself, you sort of broaden as a person over your life because you've been other people. so you can empathize with many different sorts of people. it's great in that way and i hope, therefore, as you get older as an actor, you not only get more interesting because you lived more, but you get a bit wiser as a person.

Some actors might just do one thing, and another actor does another thing. i do an awful lot of preparation with the script, really. what i do is repeat the script, over and over and over again. through that, it's almost like it seeps into my enamel. i'm reading all the characters, as well as my own. that is where the bulk of my preparation goes into.
Reading Character Preparation
If you get the characters right you've done sometimes nearly half the work. i sometimes find i get the characters right then the characters will often help me write the book - not what they look like that's not very important - what people look like is not about their character. you have to describe the shape they leave in the world, how they react to things, what effect they have on people and you do that by telling their story.

This dim coolness of my room was to the broad daylight of the street what the shadow is to the sunbeam, that is to say equally luminous, and presented to my imagination the entire panorama of summer, which my senses, if i had been out walking, could have tasted and enjoyed only piecemeal; and so it was quite in harmony with my state of repose which (thanks to the enlivening adventures related in my books) sustained, like a hand reposing motionless in a stream of running water, the shock and animation of a torrent of activity.
