More from Brown Alum JLY
November 16th, 2006In a Q&A session in Brown Alumni Magazine (BAM), John Lloyd Young replies to some very interesting questions. Here’s a sample of what JLY had to say:
BAM: Any roles you crave?
YOUNG: Classic characters really struggling with something, such as Oswald in Ghosts. But I love the process of creating a new character, especially with the writer present. For The Chosen, the writers wrote new material, changed things to fit me. That’s spoiled me a little.
BAM: What thrills you about acting?
YOUNG: Moving masses of people [emotionally] and leading them. But I only want to play characters with integrity, no rapists or murderers. Maybe that doesn’t make me a real actor, but I want to uplift people.
