Quote of the Day

If an actor does an interesting ad lib or improvises in the moment, and it’s not just the actor’s ego at work, then the writer can claim a lot of credit for that. When you create a plausible character that the actor inhabits, when the time comes for that actor to make something up on the spot, they’re improvising in character. They’re saying what the writer would have said if the writer had more time.

—Carl Gottlieb, to Bleeding Cool
