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?

Well there are alot of similarities between sport and theatre...

People like a rub down before hand..
You can get injured doing both...(depends on the lead female)
Theres a half time...
Theres a hefty amount of criticism afterward behind your back. if you play badly...
Theres always trophies involved...
Training sessions can be brutal...

and the most important....
The best player always seem to attract the female or male (whatever the case maybe)
