I don’t think my spirituality has affected my character. I feel like my character is much more cynical about his beliefs, and I think I have to kind of drop what I believe in order to play him.
Meaning of the quote
This quote is about how an actor, Jason Ritter, has to set aside his own beliefs and attitudes in order to play a character who has very different views. Even though the character may be more cynical or doubtful about their beliefs, the actor has to be willing to let go of their own personal spirituality or values in order to bring this different perspective to life on screen. It's about how acting requires an actor to temporarily set aside their own identity and fully embrace the identity of the character they are portraying.
