...The ancient Greek word for an "actress," (hypokrites), means literally "one who interprets";Hypokrites (related to our word for hypocrite) also means, less often, "to answer" the tragic chorus. See Weimann (1978, 2); see also Csapo and Slater, who offer translations of classical source material that utilises the term hypocrisis (acting) (1994, 257, 265–267). in this sense, an actor is one who interprets a dramatic character.This is true whether the character than an actor plays is based on a real person or a fictional one, even themselves (when the actor is 'playing themselves,' as in some forms of experimental performance art, or, more commonly, as in John Malkovich's performance in the film Being John Malkovich); to act is to create a character in performance: "The dramatic world can be extended to include the 'author', the 'audience' and even the 'theatre'; but these remain 'possible' surrogates, not the 'actual' referents as such" (Elam 1980, 110).

To actors: how does it work on I've wondered for a long time
what happens after each take
of an emotional scene where
someone has to get angry and
yell or scream, or burst into
tears, or other emotionally
intense moments? Is the actor
comforted or "catered to"
usually after the end of each
take, and is there training on
situations like that in acting
training?
OK thanks for the answer.
That's the thing I'm getting
at though: how do you avoid
"inter meshing" too much and
having "psychotic episode"?
Are actors ever told or given
guidance on how to do that?

It really depends on the emotional stability of the actor. most healthy actors keep a separation between themselves and the character, making it relatively easy to switch from the character back into themselves. this doesn't always work though. a friend of mine was in a stage production where her character died and was placed in a body bag and left on stage for a good ten minutes. she couldn't move because she was "dead" and when she finally got out of the bag backstage, it took her a good long while to shake out of her trance and come back into the realm of the living. most actors, especially in intense roles are warned against letting their character inter-mesh with their personality too much, for fear of a psychotic episode, which is surprisingly common. if you look at the celebrities on TV, those that freak out are the ones that cannot separate who they are from their media portrayal. |

What are the qualities and In other words, what separates
the good actors/actresses and
the bad actors/actresses? What
are the qualities that make an
actor/actress good? You hear
of people nowadays that many
of the 20-something year old
young actors are not actors.
Why? What makes a good actor
good and a bad actor bad?

A lot goes into acting. All good actors/actresses get to the point where they aren't acting anymore. They're living out their roles. Take Heath Ledger for example. Best actor I've ever seen from The Dark Knight, but ended up accidentally killing himself because of his role (If you've seen the movie, you'd understand). Actors and actresses don't just sympathize with the feelings of the character they play. They empathize. They get into it and become the role. I've read that a lot of good actors have a part of the character they play stick with them because it felt so real to them. |
