Dakota Fanning Shares Advice for Child Actors: Keep Doing It 'as Long as You Love It'

Dakota Fanning tells PEOPLE her advice to future child actors and also explains how Ishana Night Shyamalan, her director on the new film 'The Watchers,' had 'very comforting' qualities as a leader on set.

In The Watchers, Fanning plays Mina, an artist and pet shop worker whose car breaks down, stranding her in the ominous woods. Fanning, who has spent her career working with filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino, Steven Spielberg, Tony Scott and more, says she saw "no difference" collaborating with newcomer Ishana.
