Do you believe that a director should allow actors to put their own spin to a character or should they strictly enforce the expected version of the character?

As a hobbyist screenwriter and hopeful future director, I wouldn't personally allow actorsbto deviate from my own scripts and would happily replace them in a heartbeat for it. What do you, the actors/aspiring actors think?
