Meaning of the quote
When an actor is perfectly chosen for a role, they can just be themselves and not have to worry too much about their actions or speech. This is because they have a natural understanding of the character they are playing. The right casting allows the actor to fully immerse themselves in the role and bring the character to life in a seamless and authentic way.
