@linusapp: Many actors are told to "use their life." Viola Davis agrees. But she adds something important. Craft. Because acting isn't just about feeling. It's about holding those feelings safely. Viola describes actors as "thieves of life." Watching people. Collecting behaviour. Learning from the world around them. But observation alone doesn't create great work. Technique does. Technique is what allows an actor to: * go deep * tell difficult stories * access painful material and still come home afterwards. Still be themselves. That's why craft matters. Not just for performance. For protection. The best actors don't simply feel more. They build a structure strong enough to carry those feelings. Use a reader when you can. Use Linus when you can't.
