Robert Sean Leonard and Mary-Louise Parker, two highly respected stage actors who work regularly in films, also have wrestled with conflicting artistic, professional and economic goals. ''There are very few things that are enjoyable about doing a movie for me, and the biggest one is the paycheck,'' quips Leonard, who recently opened on Broadway in Tom Stoppard's The Invention of Love.
"I don't think that there are people who are just stage actors, or just movie actors," Leonard agrees. "Yeah, I would find it hard to picture certain people playing Richard II. But there's no frame or boundary around theater anymore. I think there's room for everybody."
