There is a common saying that, “An animator is an actor who uses a pencil and paper rather than their body to give a performance.” Animators, by-and-large are frustrated actors who can’t really perform physically in front of an audience for various reasons. Many of us tend to think of ourselves as “geeks” (well, that’s how I feel anyway). Our physical bodies are limited in what they can do or how they look. An actor such as Robert DeNero can portray boxing champion Rocky Marciano in one film, then a Taxi driver, a young Sicilian mob boss, or a father-in-law in others. He has versatility and great acting skills as well as a very good manager. The same can be said for many other well known actors and actresses.
