<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I would grit my teeth and read the damn thing just so I would get a better perspective on my character. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I know there are great actors that would disagree with you. That was the point I was trying to make in the first place. I think they know their job.<P>Editted to add: I don't think we should pretend to know how to prepare for their job better than they do. As many have noted, Frodo's character in the movie is somewhat different than that in the book. That is because he is not taking his biggest cues from the book. He would be taking them from the director, secondly the script, thirdly his interplay with other actors and his own experiences and personality. I know many people don't like this, but the book is down the list.<P>H.C.<p>[ March 19, 2003: Message edited by: HCIsland ]
