For one year now on this podcast, I have talked to dozens and dozens of actors about their approach to the craft of acting. There are few living non-actor directors whose thoughts on this subject I feel would be worthy for this archive. Mike Leigh is on the top of that list. In this half hour, Leigh talks about a few aspects of his unique process with actors, and also points out certain procedures in the mainstream of the craft that might ring as counterproductive when seen through Leigh’s lens.
