Her recent projects include the indie drama, <em>Tuesday<\/em>, as well as a villainous turn in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film<em> Thunderbolts*<\/em>. Speaking with Variety, Louis-Dreyfus shared her thoughts on her approach to acting across genres and provided insight into her role selection process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most essential to Louis-Dreyfus&#8217; approach to acting is being perceived as authentic. She describes, \u201cIt is your responsibility as an actor to bring authenticity. You can\u2019t fake it. I mean, you <em>can<\/em> fake it, people do. But I believe your job as an actor is to bring truth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Louis-Dreyfus points to her recent career moves &#8212; varying from indie films to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to Netflix programs &#8212; as moves based on her instincts. She explains, &#8220;It\u2019s a gut reaction. It\u2019s an instinct I have when I look at material. I\u2019m drawn to material that is not derivative, not a repeat of what I\u2019ve done before. That I feel very strongly about. I\u2019m looking for material that will challenge me and that I\u2019m curious about. I\u2019m looking for material that I can\u2019t walk away from.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once she decides on a project, Louis-Dreyfus attempts to find the way to connect herself to her character. She continues, &#8220;You start the same way you do any project as an actor, which is to say you find your in. You find your way into the role that speaks to you, that is truthful to you and your own experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though best known for her comedic performances, Louis-Dreyfus has shown off her dramatic abilities in several films. However, she confesses that she doesn&#8217;t see much of a difference in how to handle either type of project as an actress. She says, &#8220;I don\u2019t really compare [comedy and drama]. If you do a comedy or a drama, and you\u2019re approaching it correctly, the approach is very similar. Obviously, there are tonal shifts to material that are required based on the genre. But, honestly, it all comes down to coming at the material from a truthful place. &#8220;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Julia Louis-Dreyfus opens up about her career, her approach to authentic storytelling, and what drives her role choices\u2014from indie films to Marvel blockbusters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":187526,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[11213],"tags":[12105,4744],"class_list":["post-186534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actors-on-acting","tag-featured","tag-julia-louis-dreyfus"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.2 (Yoast SEO v24.2) -
