I'm your stranger. Jump!

In one of her entries, Meena is talking about people's believability of Meredith Grey, character in Grey's anatomy. It makes me want to differentiate between charisma, directors' needs, a character an actor SHOULD portray, or something emerges from an actor's heart.

Now, I can partially differentiate it when, today, I saw Larry (Clive Owen) uttered this line:

"Depressives don't. They want to be unhappy to confirm they're depressed. If they were happy they couldn't be depressed anymore. They'd have to go out into the world and live. Which can be depressing. "

Do see the film first, then you should understand.
