Performance capture is a genre of acting which is not going to go away, it’s going to proliferate more and more. I’m passionate about it, and I love it. It’s the most liberating tool an actor has, because you are not limited by your own physicality, look, or color of your eyes.

I remember hearing someone say that good acting is more about taking off a mask than putting one on, and in movie acting, certainly that’s true.
