That's interesting. I story tell with a couple of characters online and I've had people ask me if my main character is real (even though he's a big-eyed Blythe doll). Probably because he has a large online presence, so seems human-ish. So what you say about the history of an actor strikes a resonance. The audience does come to expect certain behaviors over time of a character or person, I guess that's why roles go to experienced actors oftentimes--they are embracing that which they enjoy.

Excellent. Creating a background for characters. I've heard of such things being done; and now, here's Mr. Sayles talking about it.
