Actors Roles in Movies

Question

Hola! I was wondering how you say who plays/acts as a character in a movie. For example I would like to say: He starts to work with William Somerset (played by Morgan Freeman).

This is what I have in Spanish but I am not sure if it is the best way to say it: Empieza trabajar con William Somerset (el papel de Morgan Freeman).

I appreciate any help! Gracias.

Answer 1

I believe the verb you're looking for is "interpreter" (to play, interpret a part). So your sentence would be:

Empieza a trabajar con William Somerset (interpretado por Moran Freeman).

Answer 2

You may also say "...desempeñado por Morgan Freeman" Interpretado por is also good.

Answer 3

Pumpkin gave you the best answer possible.

You can also say:

Empieza a trabajar con William Somerset (cuyo papel lo hace/interpreta Morgan Freeman)

Answer 4

Okay! Thank you!!
