They say the best actors are the ones who can become the role they play. So wouldn't that mean an actor is inseparable from his role? If the actor disagrees with the role he plays, he's not going to do a very good job at acting it, so he wouldn't get the part. Therefore I say that there has to be some connection between the actor and his role. It might not be that the actor is in agreement with the lifestyle of the character he plays, but that he promotes the overall message of the film. For there to be films about a serial killer, an actor has to play the part of the criminal. That doesn't mean the actor is a serial killer himself, or that he thinks mass murder is okay, but the opposite. The film would be about the serial killer getting caught and punished for his crime, so the actor would be in agreement with stopping serial killers. Nonetheless, you cannot act objectively in a film because no one is completely objective, and you cannot be a great or successful actor in a role against your own moral values.
