      Constatin Stanislavski said it just a tad bit before Sanford Meisner repeated it.

      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.

    Stories can change our very lifes.
    Baldurs Gate 3 made me uninstall all games and got me to finally focus on one thing and pursue it with all my passion. My life was cluttered, I numbed myself by playing every other game every other week to escape into my imaginery portrait of self - apparently, I'm quite capable of putting my head into imaginary circumstances.
    The story of BG3 showed me what my heart yearns for. It made me realize how much I wronged myself over more than 10 years and freed me of the shackles I put on myself for nothing more than petty pride - to become exceptional at one particular game in order to be considered one of the utmost best, to stream the game or even join a competitive team; not the worst aspiration by far, but a very limiting one. I would do nothing but play League of Legends for more than 10h a day.
    Now I want to tell stories. Become an actor, become a voice actor, even hold campaigns in tabletops for friends and tell a compelling story.

    "Now, here on this ragged patch of earth called Plataea, Xerxes hordes face obliteration!"

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.
