What do you think about actors being affected by their roles? What do you say when they do a role that something they are not, for example, when an actor is playing a role of a gay guy, do you think it's affecting him?
One some level yes, but maybe not that much. I heard of some actors that got in there roll so deep that they become acting more and more like that character. Heard of some self suicide also. So in the end summery is this. To be good actor you need to convince yourself that your something that your not, and that takes tool always. Maybe im wrong but that is my opinion.
We can never know because we're not actors. Maybe I affected them or not, it depends on how much they have worked on it. Maybe it's really part of their job making it realistic that it wont affect them personally. It could be like that, a great actor or actress takes a lot of risk on who they are going to be.
I agree with you friend , we will never know because its not our own state of mind . And yes i think too as i said , it depends from how much are they in to role of character they are acting , but i also think that if fictional character is more simular to actors personality it will be more realistic for us watchers ...
Some actors play the role brilliantly crazy or drunk. I've always wondered this talent. It all depends on the skill. Some become one with his hero
