What do you think about actors being affected by their roles? What do you say when they do a role that something they are not, for example, when an actor is playing a role of a gay guy, do you think it's affecting him?
One some level yes, but maybe not that much. I heard of some actors that got in there roll so deep that they become acting more and more like that character. Heard of some self suicide also. So in the end summery is this. To be good actor you need to convince yourself that your something that your not, and that takes tool always. Maybe im wrong but that is my opinion.
We can never know because we're not actors. Maybe I affected them or not, it depends on how much they have worked on it. Maybe it's really part of their job making it realistic that it wont affect them personally. It could be like that, a great actor or actress takes a lot of risk on who they are going to be.
