Hey guys im trying to get a grasp on our male character to help me figure out acting choices in my shot and I would love to hear some suggestions on any actors or specifically movies old or new that have a character who is somewhat bashful, wears his heart on his sleeve, and is repetitively misguided in his quest for love.
Also are we completely clear on the new story? I know so far he loves her but she obviously doesn't. Are they two bandits who work together?, lost travelers? who what where when why?
A couple of examples of bashful characters in cinema.
ReplyDeleteSeymore Krellborn - Little Shop of Horrors
Hellboy - Hellboy (Though tough usually he gets all kidlike when Liz is around, in particular the scene where she bursts in on him as he's been writing love letters)
Jerry Lewis - The Nutty Proffessor (Original)
Tim Robbins - Hudsucker Proxy
Jimmy Stewart - Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Michael Cera - just about any movie that he's in.
The narrator in Zombieland who's character name and real name escapes me.
thanks good ideas
ReplyDeleteI found some couple examples some of the characters are just shy or had social anxiety.
