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?

Max Von Sydow VS Steven Spielberg

I watch "Minority Report" over the weekend and some of the Cast Interviews. Max Von Sydow made a very similar comment to some of those mentioned here when comparing SS to "Other" Directors.

Now I won't quote him exactly as I can't remember EXACTLY what he said. BAsically, he deplored directors that took such control over the production as to stifle the actor's every move.

SS on the other hand allowed the cast to "direct themselves" within the confines of the vision he had for the film.

Just an interesting addition.
