The Official Raúl E. Esparza "Spread the Love" Thread, part two — Page 106

I think it has something to do with how they place their energy. Like for me, I am not an actor, but I am very outgoing when I am with my friends and family, and I know that it takes a lot of energy so when I meet new people I am much more reserved than usual. I think after being on stage for 2 hours and then coming to the stage door it can be very exhausting. But when these people are with their friends they are probably more outgoing- like when I was waiting for Raul and he was talking with a big group of friends and being all silly and loud. It's just awkward when someone shoves a Playbill in your face and tells you that they love you, lol . I can’t imagine trying to talk with someone who ‘knows’ me but we’ve never met- it’s a very strange concept.

I think it makes a lot of sense for an actor to be an introvert; just as much as it makes sense for one to be an extrovert, but in a very different way. You have actors who are, in general, attention-loving and totally uninhibited, and then others who are quiet and shy, but are uninhibited on stage because when they're up there, they have a character behind which to hide -- they become someone else.

I completely agree with both of you.

Aww, glasses.

I need to find that documentary!!!
I do love those photos.

Introversion vs. extraversion basically depends on whether you draw your energy from primarily internal reflections or from the outside world.

Backing up a bit, but THANK YOU. You have no idea how many times I had to repeat that in my sociology class. Everyone assumes that extroversion equals "outgoing and talkative," which is completely untrue. Yes, there's a correlation, but I think there are far more introverts out there than there seem to be.

ANYway, I think Raul should stick to his contact lenses.
