The Many Faces of Johnny Depp

Personality, like most core Psychology subjects, is difficult to define. Personality is essentially the science of describing and understanding people. No two people are the same; even identical twins will tell you that they are very different to their identical counterpart. There are some who are anxious and there are those who are risk-takers. There are some who are carefree while there are those who are highly-strung and there are those who are over-confident while some are just plain shy. It is this issue of differences that are fundamental to the study and examination of personality.

The outstanding component of acting is that it is an aspect that calls for a wide variety of skills. A single person to form a totally different personality from that possessed by the acting person must synchronize these skills. Some of the most common skills necessary for an actor are vocal projection, physical expressiveness, speech clarity, well-developed imagination, emotional facility drama interpretive ability. Also not to forget mentioning other important capabilities that an actor must have are; utilization of accents, body languages, dialects, improvisation, mimicry, emulation, stage combat and observation (Jurkowski and Francis 44). Another fascinating fact about acting is that it combines both talent and special training programs. Due to this fact it offers opportunities to any person who has an interest in becoming a theatre performer. The training has as well availed a chance for the emergence of professional actors who never seize from learning new elements from now and then. These people are among those who undergo training in various sub-disciplines making them diverse and multifunctional. An actor can be good at singing, dancing, partner work, scene work among others. Bundling all these qualities into one single person is a fascinating element which makes them fit for any duty that might be availed to them. Therefore acting as

Johnny is a fourteen year old boy who lives in Boston, and is an apprentice to silversmith Mr. Lapham. The city of Boston considers as the most talented silversmith for his age, and he uses his talent to support the family. Johnny isn’t so nice though, he makes fun of other apprentices and he is very arrogant. This causes Johnny not to have a good relationship with the other apprentices, but he is still on the good side with the other four Lapham girls. Then, our first real historical person comes into play: John Hancock! John Hancock request to make a sugar bowl to match the tea set he has. The tea set was created by Mr. Lapham when he was younger, but he doesn’t think he make the sugar basin because his skills were worn with time. This

In Napoleon Dynamite (Jared Hess, 2004), the character known as Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) is quite a unique fellow. His quirkiness and eccentricity are what make him as a character; they are the primary traits of his personality. Keep in mind, however, that he is not the only odd character in the film, but he has his own peerless way of defining himself separate from any other character(s). This effect is achieved through certain cinematic techniques that director Jared Hess utilizes in order to bring out Napoleon’s persona in ways other than simply “guessing” who he really is. Rather, these techniques “explicitly imply” certain character traits; they are like clues that allow one to see the

Character can be defined as the combination of qualities or features that distinguishes one person, group, or thing from another.  Authors usually embrace a distinct choice of personality on a character to make them stand out in a story.  In "A & P" by John Updike, Sammy starts off as a young man discontent with his ordinary adult surroundings and moves to his need to change it. Throughout the story, Sammy describes and interprets the scenes around him, consequently revealing his own character, by which can be related through the use of Thomas Chou's Ennegram, to distinguish his personality type.

He has been the world’s worst director who happens to have an angora fetish in Ed Wood, a topiary artist with a manicure that is deadlier than wolverine’s in Edward Scissorhands, and both a hardnosed prison guard and a drag queen prisoner, with truly amazing smuggling skills, in Before Night Falls: and this is just a short list of his amazing roles.

When S.E. Hinton wrote her book called the Outsiders she never used the word in the book, only for the title. She did that so readers could figure out who the outsiders are.

Both authors examined the qualities of Brando’s acting that made his acting memorable. Neves investigated Brando’s acting style in the 1954 film On The Waterfront. Neves delved into how Brando’s method acting approach strengthened his role and focused on the psychological complexity Brando gave to the character. Whereas Krasner wrote about Brando’s role in the 1951 film A Streetcar Named Desire and explored specific details in his acting technique, such as his usage of mumbling and his rebellious wardrobe choices. Neves’ points proved to be the strongest, with his extremely in-depth analysis and use of psychology to explain Brando’s character’s actions. In the future, historians could analyze how Brando’s acting improved and became more memorable as he became older. Altogether, there were many reasons for Brando’s memorability, as shown by Neves’ arguments that the method style enhanced his acting, and as shown in Krasner’s arguments that precise details in his acting made him memorable, and further information on his memorability could be gained by studying how his acting became better over time.

Everyday we come across a person on TV, commercial, or maybe even the news, however, we figure out who a person is in a movie more often and quicker. There’s just about millions of actors or actress that we see or haven’t even heard but we think about our favorite one from a show we’ve seen like Eminem, Ice Cube, Miley Cyrus, Chris Tucker, etc. We then think about who’s our favorite of all time and who we might look up to or even see who we want to be. I have a couple of favorite actors than I know that I have truly enjoyed watching on film all the time. A couple of my favorite actors would be Vin Diesel, Jenifer Lopez, Ludacris, Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Charlton Heston, However my by far most favorite

The strengths and weaknesses of a committed actor can be paradoxical. For this area I chose to consult with an acting colleague of 17 years. I thought it was necessary to have an objective perspective to honestly describe what has been observed from someone that knows me, personally. The following paragraph from a close friend and veteran actor explains this quandary in her description of me.

I believe this is one of the most effective ways of acting, but in modern cinema this techniques has often been described as “dangerous” to the actor’s mental health. This is because the actor creates a new character by using his own experiences and reawakens emotional trauma that is part of his own life, and not that of solely the character.

Method acting is often misinterpreted as an acting exercise where the actor “becomes” the character, and keeps the persona of that character until they have completed their work. This misguided thinking has been promoted by pop culture and even sometimes by actors themselves. The Lee Strasberg Film & Theatre Institute defines the Method as when “actors use their imagination, sense and emotion to conceive characters with unique and original behavior, creating performances grounded in the human truth of the moment.” This definition focuses more on the relationship between the actor and their character, rather than both being one and the same. Method acting is not a new idea. It is thought to have been considered an acting exercise for
