Danny Strong’s 5 most popular quotes
- The auditioning process is one in which the actor gets very little information about almost every element of it.
- I think there are a lot more writers who are actors than you know; they just don’t have roles on famous TV shows that you recognize.
- I spent so many years of my life as a stage actor and when you do all these plays, a lot of really great plays are very politically driven. They deal with deep social issues, and that’s the kind of stuff that I love, as an audience member.
- I’ve found that sitting around and obsessing about projects moving forward, when there’s actually nothing I can do about it, at a certain point, is really counter-productive.
- I love the idea of a movie hero in a thriller who is able to get ahead by just his brilliance, and not with a gun or by being an action hero.
