Chadwick Boseman - Inspired Moments

Chadwick Boseman was an astonishing actor. I, like many of us, was heartbroken when he passed last week. A truly skilled actor that still had so many fantastic parts to bring life to. One tool he had as an actor, that I feel isn't appreciated enough, is that he had put an incredible amount of preparation into his roles. The work he did offscreen to prepare for his characters was apparent in eve...

    Metcalf is a world-class actor. I feel like she never reached that level of acclaim just because she's not conventionally beautiful.

    I first saw him in his twenties playing 'Hamlet' in 1989....was 'skint' as they used to say but was driven to go three times...firstly to Stratford, then to the first night at the Barbican, (when a large hydraulic platform went wrong) and then to the last incredible night when the audience threw daffodils at the actors who threw them back....an immortal moment to end an utterly incredible production! Never seen such beauty and originality in any other interpretation of 'The Dane.' Before or since.

    I just found out Mr. Rylance to have one _spitting image_ of a fellow actor over here in *Trizonesia* . 😲 The footage the following link refers to was filmed, as well as broadcasted, 30 years ago, in 1994: ua-cam.com/video/_PlhcDGw6JA/v-deo.html 😲

    I think "innocence" is the wrong word for Rylance's acting style - it is more a particular form of assumed naivety. He does not JUDGE others and therefore does not critically examine his own actions. It creates a form of calm rationality- stillness if you like - even when he is threatening someone or is being threatened.

    I saw Mark Rylance first in Wolf Hall. I had not planned on watching the series because the books were so flawless that a BBC series could only ruin them. I told my friend I wasn't watching, and she said, "But Mark Rylance is in it!" And I asked who he was when he's a home. She said, "Just watch the first episode." I practically crawled into my television and fell head over heels for this consummate, brilliant actor. Even though I live in the States, I've been able to see him on stage 5 times. What an amazing actor!

    Thinking of other actors who can be unpredictable, I thought first of Pacino in Heat after so many takes and he finally shouted, wild-eyed, "cuz she's got a-- GREAT ASS." 🙆😂 I think there's a correlation not to be ignored for screen actors who also do theatre work when we consider improvisation as a tactic here as well, something both these guys are good at 🤷

  • @sunnyjim9810

    Last year I watched footage of Twelfth Night performed at the Globe. He starred alongside an all male cast. He played Olivia and he made it by far one of the funniest performances I’ve ever watched. Just in his mannerisms in portraying her fluster before Viola (in disguise) - seeing the character break from a stern lady to a girl with a crush. I suppose maybe that knowing she’s actually played by a man sort of contributes to the comedic factor, but I like to think Rylance’s performance really gave it the kick it needed.

    Wolf Hall, which I have watched many times, was my first encounter with Mark. His 'performance' (which doesn't feel like a performance) is spellbinding... for three reasons: he doesn't judge Cromwell's character (despite history having done so rather savagely); he brings his innocence to the part; and his impeccable variation - by turns, silent and understated, then forceful and slightly out of control. He is, to my mind, not just one of the greatest actors of our times, but the peerless instructor of his craft.

    I hope that as time passes and he grows older he will be able to go back and watch his own work. He refuses to watch himself now. But I really hope he will one day be able to watch how brilliant his own performances are and see just why he’s so loved and so deserving of all things good in the world.

    I've seen him on stage twice and met him on a few occasions as we went to the same drama school. On stage he was astonishingly present and spontaneous. I have no idea how he can be like that. In real life, he was very very gracious and patient (considering whenever I was speaking to him I was basically bugging him) and genuinely humble and warm hearted. He's someone I always aspired to be like, both as an actor and a human being. Until recently, he was still almost unknown to audiences outside the UK, and even within the UK he's not that famous, but among actors he's been held in the highest regard for years.
