How much control should the director have in the the creative process of the bringing the character to life.

I have heard many actors complain about directors who don't give them space to create. Personally I prefer for the director to stay out of this process completley and just trust the actor.

What's your view?

Is this because the Director is trying to get them out of their comfort levels and make their performance better?

So...what does the Director do? make Coffee and tell you to stand where the light hits you?
