Voldemort vs Dumbledore - the Actors

[Steve]

I'm sure by now you are all familiar with the 'unpleasant' comments
made by the actor who plays Dumbledore regarding his attitude toward
his role. Comments about not bothering to read the books, about not
really playing the character - just playing himself, etc.... It has
been discussed extensively in this forum, so I won't quote it, but
here is a very different view of how to play a character.

The following is from Ralph Fiennes regarding his role as Voldmeort.

"So much of movie acting is ... in loving your characters. I try to
know them, and with that intimacy comes love. And now, I love Voldemort.'"

At least, Mr. Finnes made an effort to understand the character he
plays even if he didn't read the books (I don't know if he did or didn't).

While Ralph Fiennes outward portrayal of Voldemort was truly menacing,
what got me was the underlying sense of misery and insanity that drove
Voldemort. By his outward actions, Fiennes brought a subtle inner
depth to the character that Micheal Gambon just doesn't seem to have.

Don't want to start another round of complaining about Gambon, just
wanted to re-enforce how well I liked Fiennes Voldemort, and am glad
to hear that Fiennes is committed to stay in the part to the end of
the series.

Just passing it along.
