The actors are generally trained to take direction and act. If they just act without direction, it's just a mess.
Oh, I understand this academically, but I don't feel it. I know how a waiter can affect a meal, or how a driver can affect a road trip, but show biz and acting is so far from me that I don't have a good intuitive grasp of how the director can make a difference.
But then, honest-to-gosh, I recall Mr. Christensen in those two different roles, and I totally get it.
