Part 4/7:
The actor credited the costume director for his meticulous attention to detail. Each garment is selected not only for its aesthetic quality but also for how it fits within the broader context of the character and the narrative. The costuming process directly influences an actor's understanding of their character; it is often not until the costumes are worn that the performer can fully grasp how to physically embody the character.
For example, the actor recounted their experience dressing as Frenchy, another character from Grease. Wearing the distinctive wigs, bras, pencil skirts, and shoes provided a sense of authenticity that unlocked their interpretation of Frenchy's character. This authenticity influences not just movements and gestures but also the emotional depth of the performance.
