True Acting

       Acting.  The thing that so many aspire to do, but so little succeed in doing.   What I think the real problem is with most "actors" these days is that that is strictly what they are doing, "acting".  Actors such as David Hasselhoff, who you can plainly read on his face, "I am portraying the emotion of ________." (anybody who's ever seen Jekyll and Hyde staring the Hoffman, you KNOW what I mean!!)

      I think the definition of acting should be redefined as "one who feels true emotion at the right time".  If you are not feeling it yourself as you are portraying it, it's not right.  What needs to happen is those emotions need to become your own, not just your characters.  Forget the dumb show, forget about looking good, stick with the realism.   Stick with all of this, and epic things will happen!!!  But most of all, remember, don't be this guy!!!! *shudder* The HORROR!!!!!

    I hear lots of ____ is so terrible, such a bad actor, etc. But, to me, a bad actor is one who refuses to memorize lines, won't adlib when necessary, shows up drunk or otherwise incapacitated to rehearsal or production, and puts out emotional cardboard. Most Hollywood actors who make it to the screen are decent - trust me, I've seen enough indie films.
    Also, the wrinkly dog Hoff picture is frightening my social conformities, so I will now run away.
