Acting is therapeutic, says Lee James

`I do acting and earn a little, just enough to buy my shaving cream'

HYDERABAD: The current crop of Hollywood fans might not recognise him immediately. His recent roles have been more of bit parts, like that of the doctor who tries to rescue Superman in `Superman Returns'. But then, for Lee James, it hardly matters.

"I do acting and earn a little, just enough to buy my shaving cream," he says, going on to add that in `Superman Returns,' "You will miss me unless you watch carefully."

"I don't have a separate life as an actor or as a spiritualist. Acting is more of a therapeutic activity for me, and I use the therapeutic aspects of theatre to help others," says James, who is in town to participate in the Prajapita Brahmakumaris' International Youth Retreat at Shanti Sarovar, Gachibowli this weekend. James also explained how his therapeutic theatre was helping relatives of those who had lost their lives in WTC attack.
