How does an actor get into the psychology of their character?
Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are joined by a very special guest, Karen Gillan, to talk about her illustrious career and her approach to acting and filmmaking. They take a look at some of Karen’s iconic roles and some-lesser known: Doctor Who, Oculus, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, and The Party's Just Beginning. They talk about perspective taking in acting and the ultimate reason people choose to act. Karen shares her empathetic approach to understanding her characters and why acting is like tennis. It’s a great metaphor!

I'm currently in a place where depression and chronic pain have been keeping me from doing much of anything, and am just lucky enough to have a family that wants every kid to live at home so they can save up for a house. But while being unemployed for quite a few months after a back surgery, I've completely realized I want to tell stories, preferably as a writer. Movies, TV, Comics, Games, anything like that (writing actual novels is something I really want to do, but I'm just not on that level of ability yet, and sort of feel like it'd work best if I co-authored with someone who I could bounce ideas off of and have them tell me I need to write). Where do you even start with this stuff when you're 30, don't have any backup plans besides getting whatever entry-level job is available, and hadn't made anything before? Because I feel like I could write some good films or graphic novels, but where do you go to learn about the industry and apply for jobs. If it helps, I am actually a short commute from NYC. Do I just go to places I'd want to work and hand out resumes and portfolios of scenes I'd written?

So delighted that you got Karen on this show. I'd seen her in a few episodes of "Doctor Who", but she really impressed me in "Welcome to the Jungle", where she subverted her usual action girl roles by playing a shy bookworm who has to portray a Lara Croft character. Also, her American accent is so convincing, that it's surprising to hear her real Scottish voice.

@jakeoliver9167 4 месяца назад

Doctor who really is the best therapy for me. And I turned 12 when Karen and Matt joined the show, so their era got me through some awful times being queer and autistic throughout secondary/high school... an all-boys secondary school 🙃 the whole show has been my lifeline tbh. But yeah, I couldn't be more grateful for that entire era especially Karen, Matt and Arthur. Love Karen in everything she does. 😊 can't wait to watch this

I discovered Doctor Who when I was recovering from severe bullying in my previous school when I was 12. This show played a enourmous part in who I am now. And how I dress lol (the bowtie concept of "it's cool because it's ridiculous I love it and I don't care" really had me going)

I can relate to that, Doctor Who literally saved my life. I was living the worst period of my life. I had nothing, I was couch surfing, unemployed, semi escaped from my mental/physical/sexual abuser.

The scene in GOTG Vol 3 where Nebula cries when she learns that Rocket was alive hits so hard, not just because she cries, but because Karen had spent multiple movies giving Nebula so much character and emotion. The decision to cry was probably a director/writer choice, but any actor could cry to make you feel sad - Karen broke our hearts (in the best way) And WOW you guys are really getting the big leagues on this show. Esposito, Dastmalchian, Gorman, various directors. I binged all of the past stuff and its so awesome to see how youve grown. Time to finally subscribe and keep up to date with future stuff

I first saw her in Oculus. I won't forget that night, nearly 10 years ago, huddled in a corner at a halloween party (maybe not fully sober), watching the movie, being terrified of a mirror because of Karen Gillan's acting. It takes a lot of work from the actors (and director) to make an inanimate object feel terrifying, but she was so good that I'm still scared of that mirror.

Oculus is my personal favourite movie of Karen’s, as well as one of the most underrated horror movies I have ever come across. Not just from an entertainment standpoint, but also from a bit of a personal one where siblings undergo trauma and they use each other as stepping stones to overcome it (obviously what I went through was NOWHERE near as bad as that, but it’s just from a standpoint of where I felt seen). I get that Oculus is pretty confronting from not only the supernatural aspects, but also the trauma aspects, but here’s hoping you guys do a video regarding that and trauma regarding siblings. Thanks so much for all the work you do and keep kicking ass!!!!!

One of the best pieces of advice my acting teachers ever have me, that can often be hard to follow consistently has to be "you are not acting. Acting is for the stage. On screen you need to live your moments sincerely." I've done films with stage actors who have no screen training and often they forget that they're framed specifically and do what you do on stage, which is move around a lot, often with exaggerated gestures and expressions. Dialogue wise, same thing, as they'll sometimes forget there is no back of the theater you need to worry about. Big reason I love this job though. Only line of work that I enjoy thinking about and discussing and learning when I'm not even working. And I used to be a chef, so you know that means something.

That's when I rediscovered Doctor Who. The Syfy channel was airing the 11th doctor, Karen, Matt, Arthur and Alex. They made me laugh, they made me cry, they showed me life is beautiful and worth living. They helped me through my burnout. I am forever grateful for them coming together and create such an awesome show. I will always love and miss Amy Pond. And ever since, I've been rooting for Karen to have an amazing career. I went to see Oculus in the theatre, just to see how she did in a different part (plus I love horror).

You guys didn’t reference it, but I also loved Karen Gillan in the short-lived “Selfie” TV series. Only lasted one season, but I really would have enjoyed them getting the chance to turn “My Fair Lady” on its head.

Yes!! My page is dedicated to Selfie. Karen Gillan and John Cho met up last year too. They still get questions about the show even now.

Let's gooo, I was scrolling down the comments looking for someone to mention this amazing show. I literally got chills when I read your comment and saw you mentioned Selfie. I watched the show back when it was new a decade ago and like many others, I wish it lasted for longer because it's amazing. But even with its super short amount of episodes, it's enough to leave a mark. Many reviewers told the same tale about how they initially thought the show would be just another basic haha superficially funny dumb show but that episode by episode they saw how the writers were doing something great and building great character arcs and journeys. It's one of the biggest tv crimes that it got cut short, but what a gem for the few of us who know it 🌟

@@selfieigniteomg it's you!! I searched up Selfie content and interviews a couple of years ago and I watched some on your channel, I know because some of your vids are marked as viewed to me. Thank you for everything!

@@OshawottLuke Aw, you're welcome! Someone is trying to get the cast together for another project. I really hope it goes through. Selfie's 10th anniversary is later this year ☺ It was definitely ahead of its time.

It is good to see Karen getting recognition for her skills as more than a supporting actor.

I agree with what Alan said about how the companions of the doctor make a big difference. There are so many people who argue on who's the best doctor, but I've always focused on who's the best companions. The Ponds make the seasons with the 11th doctor so great!

Love it when I see an interview with an actor/actress I've been a fan of forever, and they're an awesome and relatable person in general too :D

I had read that Karen Gillan was interested in not only playing Batgirl but also directing the movie. When the nearly complete movie ended up being scrapped, my one positive take away was “At least now maybe the Karen Gillan one can happen 🤷”

@DiecastDreamCustoms 4 месяца назад

Haven't watched the episode (just got past the introduction)... wanted to say that Gillan is not only one of my favorite actresses of all time, but one of my favorite PEOPLE. She's simply a lovely person and I wish I could get to know her on a personal level. Of all of her many (MANY) roles, the one that connected with me the most was actually Nebula. I had a rough life growing up and (believe it or not), I see a great deal of my own mental processes and reactions in that character. Bravo, Karen. We love ya. :)
