I Am A Bit Evangelical, I Know,

My Belief About Performance Capture Is That It's A Technology Which Allows Actors To Play Extraordinary Characters. But From An Acting Perspective, I've Never Drawn A Distinction Between Playing A Conventional, Live Action Character And Playing A Role In A Performance Capture Suit. And From A Purely Acting Point-of-view, I Don't Believe There Should Be A Special Oscar Category Because I Think It Sort Of Muddies The Waters In A Way.

I Think There Will Always Be A Particular Generation Of Actors Who Think That They're Going To Be Replaced By Robots. But Certainly The Emerging Actors Understand That That's Part Of The Craft.

For Film And Games, There Is Now A Fantastic Method Of Actors Portraying Characters Which Don't Necessarily Look Like Themselves. And Yet You've Still Got The Heart And Soul Of The Performance.

We're Live In A World That Has, In Many Ways, Become Desensitized And Unable To Empathize With Other Cultures And Species. The Dangerous Part Is That We Objectify Others And Have Somehow Removed Ourselves, Mentally, From The Very Planet We Inhabit.

That's Why I Ended Up Going To Lancaster University, Because They Had A Visual Arts Course, And In The First Year It Was Like A Broad Visual Arts Course In Sculpture, Painting, Graphics - All Of That.
