All of our sex scenes are very story-motivated rather than just steamy-motivated, and even being able to vocalize that point of view, I don’t know if I could do that as just an actor.
Just creatively talking with the directors about like, ‘Here’s what we’re trying to convey story-wise with the sex scene, and so let that be the focus rather than nasty panning body shots.’
I don’t know if I would have ever dipped my foot into that area if I couldn’t have also been a producer in the mix — even when it comes to hiring directors who I think will be thoughtful and who I can communicate what we expect.
