How do you show your cast mates the importance of communication?

"Many communication issues stem from a lack of understanding when it comes to the end goal. When we have a dispute, I work with my team to explore other alternatives. We often role play and discuss ways that we could have reacted better. This practice has greatly improved our practices and performances."

As an actor you know that 'telling,' and 'showing' are two very different things. Talk to the interviewer about how you put communication into action during your projects and scenes.

"I show my cast mates the importance of communication through my willingness to ask questions if I do not understand the first time. I do not pretend to know something just to save face. By creating an environment where questions are encouraged, we have increased communication greatly, and have seen a great result because of it."
