Filmmaker Tips 58

An actor has to keep physically fit. It is very important, it doesn't mean you got to have bulging biceps or 6 to 12 pack abs; it simply means that you can do physically taxing jobs on the shoot. Running, fighting, throwing away 100 punches or lifting the leading lady.

While it may seem an easy task to lift a lady or a girl, believe me I have seen actors giving 10-12 to about 30 retakes to perfect the shot!
