So far, Taika Waititi has shown us his incredible skills as a director, producer, and writer, just as much as his acting skills. A lot can be said about him and his talents, mostly in positive notions. So when Taika Waititi calls his acting “lazy,” it would be hard to believe with his amazing acting and voice acting like iconic characters.
Although the director describes his acting as lazy, his role as Adolf in JoJo Rabbit and Korg in the bottom two Thor movies had fans roaring to applause. Known for his humorous approach and lack of fear in challenging the unchallenged, Taika Waititi has managed to create a name for himself that is much bigger than we imagine.

Taika Waititi’s unique spinning heads
Taika Waititi calls his acting lazy because he doesn’t want to change his accent or like to research his characters so much. It can, however, be very well mixed with another fact that he mentioned in an interview with Wired. Waititi said he can’t care so much about trying to be another character and just chooses to be himself, and of course, audiences love it!
“I just played Blackbeard in Our Flag Means Death. I went to Wikipedia and typed ‘Blackbeard’, and there are too many words!” He went on to say that he saw that Blackbeard was from Bristol, briefly looked at Bristol’s accent, then decided, “Nah, too harsh.” He went with his own accent and explained, “My range is me. I don’t try.
He went on to state that even when playing Hitler he didn’t read much about him and instead took a humorous approach to the character, which can be considered very risky for a role that requires so much sensitivity. That didn’t stop Taika Waititi and to her surprise, the film received a lot of praise for her role, her acting, and the new angle on the character herself.

Taika Waititi surprises fans with her voice acting
The producer played Korg, a character with a sense of humor and a body made of rocks in Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder. The character’s ability to interact with others in the most creative ways possible has made him one of Marvel’s most beloved characters. His roles in Mandalorian, Lightyear, and many others have all managed to stand out in their own way.
Taika Waititi is set to direct the new star wars movie that has no release date yet, and maybe we could get the chance to experience his acting skills again. However, he doesn’t have any of those roles listed yet.
