Watching an Adam Savage YT video of a past livestream, someone asks him, "What makes a character, other than the actor?" and...

The writing.

It's always the writing.

An actor can make a character their own, but it starts always with the writing. Without it, there's nothing for the actor to be or do.

(which is why shitty/inconsistent writing dooms actors too closely identified with any one single character)
