      Rylan Price not like that he didn’t. Meisner is a continuation of Stanislavskys method. No one has ever boiled it down to its essence as Meisner did.

      That actually do not exist. First things first,acting is mainly judgement of an existing situation. Last but not least,an actor should not act truthfully. What I mean is,that he don't has to convince the audience,although he has to make the whole acting seem truthful.
      At least,that's what I've learnt from my drama studies.

    Living*....not behaving, “acting is living truthfully under given imaginary circumstances.” The wording is very specific, it took Meisner decades to boil it down to that sentence. I had to pause the video to write this, this may seem like nitpicking, but it’s actually very important.

    Fell in love with David while watching SeaChange on ABC last century, and am now watching SeaChange again on ABC IView.....ie all episodes/series. Was disappointed to see him in his role in Goldstone the movie, but then again he's got to make a living and acting is his is working to pay the rent/mortgage and all the rest. He plays good guys and bad guys really well, but always like him in a more romantic role because of his style of acting and of course because of his good look. To me he's the Australian version of Robert Redford.

I found out that there are no things which i can tell her about that, however after watching this performance, I understood what to tell her about that and what is the sense in acting. He is right - Molokai is a sufficient example, i've never known about these things, but after a movie i've read some information about it and known about these poor people, and this information is really needed to be known.
