Activist: not as much acting as it is reacting- which is my story
Acting is about listening and reacting. John Wayne was right: Acting is just reacting. You don't have to do much - as long as you stay out of the way of others. That's why it works.
Good acting is about reacting, not tryingto express something, but reacting to a situation as the character.I don't like acting acting.
Improv as an actor makes you present in the moment. You listen, you're attentive. You're not acting so much as reacting, which is what you're doing in life all the time.
I'm always an advocate of 'acting is reacting,' which can be difficult.
I enjoy both acting and screenwriting, in completely different ways. You have more creative freedom with writing because you can create everything that happens. But, as an actor you also have creative freedom because you don't so much focus on what has to move the story along, and only on how your character is reacting to situations.
I prefer the smaller acting than big histrionics. It's about reacting and looks, which is often underestimated.
The key to acting is less acting and just reacting.
I think it's critical in any character you play that it really is about reacting instead of acting. You can always tell when a person is acting.
Some actors get by with behaving, not acting. You've got to sell the effect. I act more in the 'Nightmare' movies because it's not like me. I'm acting, not reacting.
Acting is all about reacting. When you look into the eyes of your co-star and there is truth in his eyes, giving a reaction becomes so much easier.
Acting is nothing but reacting, so if your co-stars react in a particular way, it does affect your acting as well.
Acting is reacting... there's a magic when you're working with another actor. With voice acting, you're doing it alone, all in your head. So, you have to re-create that essence by yourself. It's not necessarily more difficult. It's just a different set of skills.
The great difference between screen acting and theatre acting is that screen acting is about reacting - 75% of the time, great screen actors are great reactors.
That's what acting is. You're not alone. It's reacting. That's what we do.
I understand in the context of acting, it allows me to manifest character, but I am no wiser then the next person that is living up a life, that is acting and reacting to the built-up circumstances around them.
Acting to me is always reacting.
