Working with talented actors has its own advantages, not only as a tool person for acting, but also as one of the producers of a film work.
So they usually make better movies in which they star.
Here are 15 actors who put forward ideas for changing the role of the film and making them better:
1. Catherine O'Hara came up with Moira's signature accent in Scott River. She was clearly ready to go to the set to change her role, taking photos and looks of British celebrity Daphne Guinness.
2. Margot Robbie revises the scene in The Wolf of Wall Street where her character seduces Little Plum. According to the script, Robbie should show up at the door in a robe. However, she insisted on stripping naked in this scene.
3. John Krasinski came up with the idea of finding a deaf-mute actress to play Reagan in A Quiet Place. He thought of Milliacent Symonds, who had lost her hearing as an infant. She was able to teach sign language to all the actors, which made the film more in-depth.
4. Olivia Moon insisted that her character could not wear a turtleneck sweater in the TV series Newsroom. The actress, who plays Sloan Sabbitth in the show, doesn't want her character to lose her femininity and dresses too conservatively.
5. Scarlett Johansson disapproves of Black Widow if it's an original story. "I don't want it to be an origin story. I don't want this to be a spy story. I don't want it to be superficial at all. I just hope it really fits into the role I play," she said.
6. Emma Colin, who played Princess Diana in The Crown, insisted that they depicted the late Princess's struggle with bulimia in a subtle way. Emma said: "I feel that if we try to describe bulimia in an honest way, we have to show it truthfully, otherwise it would be a disservice to the people who have experienced it."
7. Dawn Johnson is reluctant to let his gorilla friend die in a furious battle. In the original ending, George the Gorilla was supposed to die, but Dwayne Johnson said he didn't want a sad ending. He told the producers that if they wanted to kill the gorilla, they would have to find another actor.
8. In Stranger Things 3, Deckard Montgomery proposes to give Billy a sad backstory to show where he came from. It was something I insisted on writing, to add to his backstory and also to see the pain his mother had caused him to leave.
9. Reese Witherspoon was only 22 years old when she played Annette Hargrove in The Deadly Game. Apparently, she helped write all the dialogues for the character with screenwriter and director Roger Kumble
10. The entire look of Lucius Malfoy in Harry Potter was the idea of Jason Isaacs. "I went to the set and they wanted me to wear a pinstriped suit and have short black and white hair." He asked the prop team for a long white wig, a wizard's robe, and a cane so he could draw his wand.
11. Kate Blanchett insisted on changing the character's name in Hidden Skies: The Beauty Project. Her character was called Kate in the script, but later she told the director that they shouldn't have named the character after her.
13. In the movie Sleeping Curse, Angelina Jolie came up with the idea of putting a prosthesis all over her body in order to make her character look scary. Disney wasn't keen to cover Julie with things at first, but the actress convinced company executives that her role would still maintain the beauty of the bridge of her nose, molars and strange cheekbones.
14. James Spade puts a hat on his character in The Blacklist. The producers initially objected to the idea, but Spieder persuaded them that his character would wear a hat, a detail that has now become iconic.
15. Chris Hemsworth battled the directors in Avengers: Endgame to keep his iconic belly for a little longer. The plot time of the Fat Thor should have been shorter before the recovery, but Hemsworth was not happy about it. He wanted to prolong Thor's journey.
