Alex De Rita had an interesting road to acting, all the way from being an orphan in Russia to baring everything as an underwear model in New York, now sharpening his acting skills here in Los Angeles. We talk about the moment when acting becomes real, what a great actor/director relationship looks like, how to forget the camera is there, the inconsistencies of speech and the surprise of response in believable conversation, and battling the dissociation of self between the individual and the character.
