Yes, I am sure I can find a lot on this by doing a Google seach on Philosophy of Acting or Philosophy of Theater. But I am not really interested in learned thought, as much as I am in the thoughts of our BLog readers. What do you think "Acting" really is? It is easy to think we instinctively know it, when we see stars on the big screen. But if you really think about it, it is not so simple a thing. I once heard Ben Affleck give the definition that acting is "Living believably in a made-up world" but that seems a bit... vapid. (Perhaps appropriate for the male ex-half of Bennifer.)
It seems to me that "acting" is one of two things. Either:
1. Portraying emotions: Seen in actors like Ben Kingsley who can literally metamorphose himself into a million roles and peoples, to the point that without credits you might not guess the same actor who played Gandhi also played Dr. John Watson in Without a Clue.
2. Projecting emotions: Seen in the more classic "movie star." People like Peter O'Toole who always play exactly the same character, but have the ability to draw you in and make you feel EXACTLY what that character is feeling.
What is your thought? Which of these is the "real" actor?
