What does an actor/actress want from a director? or What type of qualities do actors look for in a film director?

 

[Chris Tempel]

Confidence and competence

 

[mlesemann]

And not a crazy number of takes

 

[sfoster]

they would like it very much if their audition wasnt in a hotel suite

 

[James Rogers]

It's probably different for different actors, but I would agree with Chris, confidence and competence at a minimum. Technical ability, personable, understanding instinctively what each actor requires to do their best. A cool head. A leader.
