Gabriel Mann

Anytime anybody does anything – unless it’s in the realm of the obviously awful, which is fun too in a different way – it is in many ways a success.

For me as an actor because I’ve been at it so long, it becomes much harder to watch movies because you really see the seams of everything.

For most of my 20s, I looked like I was 12. Now that I’m pushing 40, I guess I look closer to… 15? It must be my macrobiotic diet. Oh, wait, except that I don’t have one of those.

I have a million story-lines for ‘Revenge’ and they never listen to me.

I kind of grew up in a commune, but it wasn’t a hippie commune necessarily, but it was a big house with a lot of families, we all lived together and it was the 70s, whatever that means.

I know when I watch a film at this point, if I completely lose myself in the characters and the story and the world of the film I know that it’s at least in my opinion, that was great. Otherwise I’m thinking: “Oh I know they were just doing A, B and C, right before they walked into the scene, then the camera was there, then they probably took the shot from this reverse close-up and moved it into this.” When all of that drops away then I’m like: “Okay this was phenomenal, this was fantastic.” I mean, any film or TV performance in general is probably good.

I needed to put something together that would continually get me up at 4:30 in the morning, get me to work and get me excited to throw on those costumes – which clearly continue to excite me, if you are a viewer of the show – and circumstances that continue to surprise me and ask me to go places acting-wise that I haven’t explored before.

I never wanted to get caught in doing something that was really one note.

I think that music is still a mystery to most people. It kind of goes through most people without a specific thought. They feel the music, which is what’s supposed to happen. They’re not supposed to be curious about who wrote the music; they’re supposed to feel what the show is trying to get them to feel. So if I help get that feeling across, that’s good enough for me.

Thinking

I think you kind of hope for people gush over movies, but I think the opposite is great sometimes, too. I’d rather have a movie that you’re angry about and that you’re talking about the next day, than something you forget about when the popcorn goes into the trash.
