    I don’t think an actor needs to be a fan before taking a role. It can provide a fresh perspective.

    But it definitely helps.

      I don’t think the actor does, but the director and/or production has to. If it’s not similar to the source material just call it something else, but I do get saying “based on XYZ” makes for easier marketing.
