My Role as James Sunderland
GREAT QUESTION. Answer: When diving deep into the psyche of James and his relationships, I realized that I've been playing the game in Real Life, and I knew that playing (the Game itself) at this point would cheapen the character of James and make him less authentic.
I might game it one day, but, in the early stages of bringing James Sunderland to Life, now is not the time, and, I take my cues from writer/producer, Brett Driver.
there were parallels in mine and Jame's personality, experiences, relationships, and Life in general. No surprise, I'm drawn to these situations...and, Brett could see it in me.
It happened also with 2 other roles I've had since being in Film. And, it's not weird, coincidence nor a mystery, that, writers and artists when inspired, can very well write about real human experiences that, especially another artists whose job is to portray, notices it, or, they are somehow connected. (These days, especially w/social networking.)
But, James went to the next level...to an extreme, because, Silent Hill and the imagery produced, is so much generated by James, in his mind. This has created a challenge for me as an actor, because I've had to deal with family deaths and other tragedy to tackle the role, and, when it gets too personal, I just want to react...regardless of the script, film, or story.
Sometimes that works..if it does, then Brett Driver captures Lighting i a Bottle. But, it can also draw you in too deep and your're distracted. That's OK, you just 'bring it back'.
But, as I develop my own experiences related to James the character, I will be able to detach more.
According to Brett's vision, and, the passion of the "Lost Days-Silent Hill Story", our dedication is to the True Fans, Those in touch with The Game. And, it's our job, to make these characters, Real. In the words of Maria that she whispered in my ear....."touch me James, see, I'm Real.".
It's an honor to play the chivalrous and selfless,
James Sunderland
