Grounding, Story Telling, Frame: these are all important inner game pieces to building a strong identity. Character develop is essential for any good story, especially TV series and books.
Harry Potter, Twilight, Boston Legal, Leverage, Lie To Me, The CSI series, Entourage, 24. Any successful show has a level of depth to its characters. They are relatable, memorable, and amplify our emotional responses to them.
In developing our own personas and understand out own underlying motivations, artists must constantly grapple (and sometimes struggle) between their core identity, their image, and what they truly believe of themselves. The reasons and ethics as to why they do certain things.
There are many great characters in movie and TV to emulate. Of those that come to mind, Jack Bauer from 24, Vincent Chase from Entourage, Edward in Twilight, Dr. Lightman in Lie To Me. One particularly fascinating TV character is Allen Shore from The Practice and Boston Legal. In Season 5 Jerry Espinson’s character says, “After watching Allen Shore practice law, I’m quite sure that there will never be another… quite like him.” Great characters in real life are also hard ti imitate, having enriched their own experiences and inner workings to the extent that they stand out from the masses as unique individuals with something to contribute to the world. To this extent, PUAs do it too.
“The character of Alan Shore deserves to be a character remembered with the likes of Atticus Finch. He is not a professionally ethical man, but he is a moral man. His personal code of ethics incorporates Machiavelli with a sense of “do the greatest good”. He is highly unethical, but rarely does anything for his own sake. In a way, he sacrifices his own ethical reputation for the sake of aiding people who have no other recourse. Sort of a legal Robin Hood.” - gdkzen
