A lot of directors would be open for your input. They have a vision for what they want the character to be like, but if you bounce an idea that they idea that they may like, nine times out of ten, they will go with it. If the idea is an improvement, it\u2019s nice when the director allows you to have creative input.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-8996\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/2011\/06\/lord-all-men-can%e2%80%99t-be-dogs-christian-keyes-interview\/christian-keyes-2\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignleft size-medium wp-image-8996\" title=\"Christian Keyes 2\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 200 300'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Christian-Keyes-2-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Has your exposure in theater helped you land roles in films?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>CK:<\/strong> You could never get enough practice.
