Acting is harder than one may think...

Acting is so much harder than one might think. In order to act, one must act like another person executing their behavior and emotions and making it believable and interpret what the character needs to say so the audience know that they are really playing the character. It's much harder than you think. The great actors are able to interpret their lives and look to find life experiences that may help them earn a role later in their career. Acting is to some actors' an art form. Expressing yourself by acting of a whole new person. Method acting is one form that Marlon Brando used, I've seen extras of 'Streetcar Named Desire' where he is trying the 'Stella!!!' scene with different emotions expressed. Marlon Brando is one of the most famous method actors, who did it flawlessly. Acting takes work, being able to extract emotions from their lives, concentration on the character (to do it well) to make their role terrific. I think we should give actors more credit...for their acting. After all, that is their job. In the end it doesn't matter what the tabloids say, it's about their work. Plain and simple. They will be remembered for their work. On day I was looking for an actor's group on a website, and there was no group appreciating his acting. Sad. Actors should be recognized for their work. Think about acting and give a little more credit to the actors.
