Types of Actors

Some may say he is intelligent, while others may say he is courageous. Big words are just insufficient to describe this actor/director/screen-writer/producer. This two-time Oscar winner and nominee of numerous awards, has proven that Hollywood is not just a money making workshop, but it offers well profound characters that deserve the attention of connoisseurs. More importantly,

But, to the contrary to we might assume, we see in Hollywood’s filmography that they have been assigned few roles, which are also mostly stereotyped and unflattering. In this essay, we will review some

Sexual appeal is a common thread with celebrities, including musicians. Musicians like Tom Jones, and actors like Brad Pitt create a huge following because their audience thinks they are physically attractive. Consequently, their physical image holds just as much influence as their talent. Giddins remarks, “…Sinatra remained white America’s last completely satisfying definition of masculine style…no comparably compelling image of male conduct has emerged to replace it”. Masculinity remains a common image projected by celebrities, and has been a recurring theme in musicians and actors since Sinatra projected it to the youth culture of the early

This attitude would create an uncomfortable atmosphere among friends and family and so actors must be able to integrate their roles to fit in with circumstances and this may lead to certain masks being put up or taken off.

Evidence of such changing attitudes is already surfacing, he said, in the continued appeal of actors such as Harrison Ford and Sylvester Stallone, cast as action heroes much as they had been 20 years ago, and in the enduring fashion influence of actresses such as Diane Keaton and Candice Bergen. "Diane Keaton is a [Boomer] cohort icon and will influence fashion forever," Meredith added.

But, Hoffman has more in common with male stars in earlier generations who did not look like gods, but like real human beings. Hoffman, who was an actor first, star second, went to great lengths to assure that his roles had a tinge of realism tied to them. He once said, "One of the things that constantly hits me is that when I go outside on the street, what I see is not what I see on the screen. I turn on the television, and what I see on the screen is not what I see in real life. It bothers me. I want to get closer to what I see in life. I love to see hair out of place. I love to see people without makeup, or at least with their own blush showing, their own pimples, and their own specific

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.

"The philosophical underpinnings of my approach to acting are that there are universal human qualities, and that every character is actually available within each one of us, that if we tap down into that universal humanness, we can find whatever character it is that we need to play already there within ourselves, and it's just a matter of peeling apart the onion that is you and finding that character within you, because of this universal human quality. "(“Misha Collins.”). The man who said this is the actor known as Misha Collins, and this is his philosophy on acting. Even though he’s an actor however, does not mean that he is stuck up and rude. Unlike other actors, who usually think of themselves as superior to their audience, he cares a

Have you ever wondered what influences us to behave the way we do? Look a certain way? Or even looked for an explanation to what causes us to apply a certain perspective regarding personal and controversial issues? One of the answers to these questions may revolve around the influence we absorb from celebrities. A definitive term for celebrity is an iconic figure to a category or group who has achieved success in one or multiple aspects of their lives. As a result, these individuals have drawn in publicity and fame. Over the years with the advances in media and other forms of communication, celebrities have become topics of discussion worldwide, rather if it’s at school, with colleagues or at the dinner table, it is fair to say that

Celebrities are everywhere in the news, the latest gossip appears in the weekly magazines without fail. Whether they be an actor, athlete, dancer, designer, model, singer or just rich; there is someone out there who is watching that person like a hawk, not letting a single breath go unnoticed. Such is the life of the rich and famous, under the incessant gaze of journalists and the paparazzi. Lives that many people take a great interest in and admire to the point where others would liken this great interest and admiration to a cult-like worship of celebrities. This is a brief description of what I think to be celebrity culture.

A star’s image is a concept carefully molded by the celebrity himself or herself with the aid of many factors such as audience reception and current ideological trends. Star image, by definition, given by O’Shaughnessy and Stadler, is “the qualities, ideals, and values that a star represents, based on their films and other performances, and on media information circulated about them” (430). A change of star image encompasses the sum of everything we, as in the audience, affiliate with that star. That means changing the star’s body of work, promotion, publicity, and audience practices. These factors put together is also known as star text (Professor Josh Jackson, September 8, 2016, University of California, Berkeley). Jennifer Lawrence had a particular star text before she took on the role of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games and was instead known for her role of Ree Dolly in Winter’s Bone. This new role launched Lawrence into a different star text she was previously known for. Though it seemed like the change is solely based on her landing an already popular role, the change in her star text is still calculated in order for her to maintain a certain image that landed her at the top of the celebrity social ladder. This careful manipulation of a celebrity’s image as she takes on a role that guaranteed a big impact on her acting career demonstrates how a star’s image is important when it comes to maintaining what the celebrity, and everyone who is working with that

People were not exposed to barrage of news about celebrities a couple of decades ago. Mass media is becoming more garden because of rapid progress on technology day by day. Thereby, people are substantially interested in the private life of celebrities, and some of them are obsessed with celebrities. They desire to know everything about them. For instance, who is dating with whom, where they are shopping, or what they wear. In a word public have an endless hunger for more information. However, the public doesn't have the right to know about every single detail of celebrities' private lives due to several reasons.

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.

Marilyn Monroe is one of the most iconic classical actors for people in today’s society, along with William Shakespeare. These two styles have their own benefits, but it turns out that there can also be some negatives to the choice of acting one pursues.

The downside of fame is the interference of the media in one’s life. Stories concerning celebrities are likely to attract customers, just for entertainment purposes. Celebrities’ life is publicized, criticized and mocked at. Reporting celebrities downfall seems to be particularly appealing to the public, and it seems that hardly a day passes without the news reporting a celebrity’s’ downfall. Some people are obsessed with famous people, their life styles, and have desire for more information. Media’s negative role destroys the famous people’s lives. Famous people deserve privacy and respect. This essay will discuss the unfair treatment received by famous people from the media.
