He attributes his proficiency at picking up the physical skills to his level of confidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s so key in any task,\u201d he said. \u201cI really just had confidence in myself like I always have \u2014 barring that dark period when I was first diagnosed. And of course, trusting my own instincts.\u00a0I have a pretty similar process as any other sighted actor in terms of learning my blocking and memorizing the movement and marks I have to hit throughout the scene. Where my process might be slightly different as a blind performer is that I sometimes have to feel out my marks to memorize them \u2014 rather than someone pointing them out, saying, \u2018Over there.\u2019 But, I only need to be told once.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ever since he lost his sight, his memory has improved, which also helps him act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe memory is a muscle, and the more you flex it and use it, train it, the better your recall is going to be,\u201d he said. \u201cEvery day is a memory exercise. I can\u2019t just see \u2018Where did I put my drink down?\u2019 or if I\u2019m going somewhere, I can\u2019t just look at Google Maps for directions. My mind maps things, and also [I make] vocal notes and mental notes. It really helps my recall. If I\u2019m told something once, I\u2019ll remember it. And that\u2019s helped me in many aspects of my life, both personally and professionally.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/adam-morse-see-02.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=682\" alt=\"Adam Morse wears a hat and looks at the camera. \" class=\"wp-image-19193823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/adam-morse-see-02.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1023 1023w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/adam-morse-see-02.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=682 682w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/adam-morse-see-02.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=341 341w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/adam-morse-see-02.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\"\/><figcaption>Adam Morse. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>His role in \u201cSee\u201d is his first time playing a blind character onscreen, and it might be his last, Morse said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be honest, I am really not seeking out blind characters. In fact, on the contrary, my ambition as an actor is to take roles that people wouldn\u2019t expect me to play and surprise everyone in how I can suspend an audience\u2019s belief, whether it\u2019s me behind the wheel of a car driving some gnarly car chase scenes, or running around a battlefield. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe prospect of playing people so far removed from myself is the reason why I wanted to become an actor.
