What is Method Acting?

Method acting is a technique that was developed in the early 20th century by Russian actor and director Konstantin Stanislavski. It is an acting approach that focuses on creating a realistic portrayal of a character through various emotional, psychological and physical methods. This method involves the actor drawing experiences from their personal life and past emotional memories as a way to fully immerse themselves in a character's role, leading to a more convincing and authentic performance. Method actors will often stay in character even when not on set or will undergo significant physical and emotional preparation for their roles. This style of acting has become increasingly popular in the film and television industry and has led to a number of iconic performances.
