So I can see parts of myself in this character, which I'm not proud of, but that's the way to kind of connect with a character somewhat.” “And I think that's where you can see the judgments dropped because we can see ourselves and each person. “If I'm honest, I just see that in myself,” he continued.

I've had times where I'm kind of full of myself.” If I'm honest with myself, I've been manipulative in my day. “Because if I'm honest, the people that I can't stand - I can think of a couple of people in my life that I'm not a huge fan of … maybe I think they're kind of manipulative, or I think that they're kind of full of themselves or something. “Any character I play, I have to resonate with something in their character in order to hopefully bring an authentic version of it,” he said.

Over his impressive career, Hale has played a wide range of characters, from the bumbling Buster Bluth in the TV comedy “Arrested Development” to the cunning soul trying to earn a shot at life in the artistic film “Nine Days.”īut before tackling a character, Hale said he first needs to see himself reflected in them - a task that forced him to face some ugly truths when playing Tieran. But I love playing evil because that equation never works out. But obviously, his motives are all wrong. And so he sees Clifford as an opportunity … in his mind, he's saving his company. His employees are idiots they're making two-headed sheep. “He sees himself as investing a lot of money in this company. “I don't think he sees himself as bad,” the actor said of the character. Though Tieran's motives are seemingly altruistic, he’s in fact motivated by greed - an equation that Hale stressed “never works out.” Hale’s character is tech CEO Zack Tieran, whose company, LyfeGrow, is set on artificially growing animals larger in hopes of increasing the global food supply. It’s Emily’s love that spurs Clifford’s enormous growth, prompting him to grow 10 feet tall. The film introduces Clifford as a tiny, bright red puppy who forms a bond with a lonely New York City girl named Emily Elizabeth. The 51-year-old actor portrays the central villain in a new, live-action “Clifford the Big Red Dog” film, also starring Darby Camp, Jack Whitehall and John Cleese. And so even if you don't see the result, tremendous power where that goes.” But it made a huge difference in my life. I remember people who supported me, and honestly, they might never have seen where that went. I remember people who were kind to me when I was younger. “When you are kind to someone, when you do the right thing, you might not see the result of where that goes, you might not see the path where that leads, but never underestimate the power of that. “You might not see the fruit of that in your day - never underestimate the power of it,” Hale advised. He encouraged parents and adults to “never underestimate” the power of modeling these positive qualities for children. Kindness, he stressed, is the antidote to the vitriol and hatred pervasive across society. And these kids that are being raised in this social media thing, I think that's dangerous ground.” there's a lot of comments and ripping apart through social media that they feel isn't necessarily as powerful, but I think words are very, very powerful. “On the outside, they might go about their regular lives and be kind, which is wonderful. “Social media … I think it's a platform that is very dangerous because people can kind of be anonymous and break people down,” the "Arrested Development” and "Toy Story 4" star said. In an interview with The Christian Post, the outspoken Christian actor and father shared his concern for how social media is shaping the next generation and the responsibility of parents to raise children to treat others with compassion.
