Die geleentheid om \u2019n enkelouer uit te beeld wat \u2019n kind op die outisme-spektrum grootmaak, het my uitgedaag om die rol met groot omsigtigheid te benader. Ek was deeglik bewus daarvan dat iemand wat kyk, dalk gaan voel of hulle na hul eie lewe, of die lewe van iemand wat hulle liefhet, op die skerm kyk. Dit het my daaraan herinner dat ons werk as akteurs en kunstenaars nie oor ons gaan nie. Die stories wat ons vertel, behoort uiteindelik aan die mense wat hulself in ons karakters sien. Laastens het die deelname aan <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Beter as gister<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> my ook geduld en aanpasbaarheid geleer. Om teenoor Luna Coetzer te speel, wat Lilly vertolk, het my aangemoedig om die behoefte te laat vaar om elke oomblik in \u2019n toneel te beheer en eerder ten volle teenwoordig te wees.

Sy kwesbaarheid. Sy passie. Sy obsessies (sommige wonderlik en sommige glad nie wonderlik nie). Selfs sy foute, soos om in die strik van perfeksionisme te trap. Daar is iets van Eben in elkeen van ons. Ek glo pragtig geskrewe, ronde karakters het menslike eienskappe waarmee enige iemand hulle op een of ander manier kan vereenselwig. Die skrywers van die reeks,<strong> Corn\u00e9 en Ren\u00e9 van Rooyen<\/strong>, het ongelooflike werk met die skep van hierdie karakters gedoen.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">V: Wat hoop jy neem kykers weg uit jou karakter?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ek wil nie h\u00ea kykers moet iets spesifieks wegneem nie, maar ek hoop van harte die storie moedig mense aan om oop te wees en te praat oor wat hulle deurmaak. Met die vertolking van hierdie karakter het ek besef ek het raad en leiding meer nodig as gewoonlik. Wanneer laas het ons as grootmense \u2019n kostuum aangetrek en \u2019n waterpistoolgeveg met ons kinders gehad net om hul dag te maak?
