In 2010 I lived in Los Angeles. I did many things over there. One of them is taking classes at Playhouse West.
What is Playhouse West? it's an acting school that teaches the meisner technique.
What is the meisner technique? It's being in the moment. Responding to any stimuli that either comes from your scene partner, or the environment, or yourself. It teaches you to be present and be constantly in tune with how you feeling about anything , and to go with it.
We were trained by real, working actors, some pretty popular names too.
And, if you ever taken any acting class you would know this: acting coaches like to talk. A lot.
About themselves, about training, about life, and of course, about the greats.
So there's a constant name-drop going on. De niro here. PAcino there. Hoffman, streep, Newman, Redford and so on and so forth.
But there is only One name that is constantly associated with the great of the greats, the actor of actors, the one that changed the game forever, taking it to a whole new level.
